Harvested from the warm and sunny Deakin Estate vineyard at Red Cliffs near Mildura. Grapes are vinified in sweeping arm potter fermenters followed by malolactic. Close attention is paid to maintaining mild temperatures and gentle maceration, so that the tannin extractions can be perfectly judged and managed. After a year of maturation to soften and infuse supple oak character, the better components are selected for inclusion into the final wine. Blending and fining trials are undertaken to arrive at the optimal assemblage.
Deep red colour. Intense blackcurrant and blueberry aromas, cigar box and a touch of cinnamon. Heaps of berry fruit flavours on the palate, pliant tannins that bounce along with you, joined by a warm and creamy vanillan finish. Deakin Cabernet cries out for a grilled steak, it would also go beautifully with traditional Italian, pasta and meatballs or cacciatore with mushroom olive.

Deakin Estate
The Mildura region was transformed from an arid and scrubby no-man's land to an agricultural oasis in the 1880's

Deakin Estate vineyard and winery complex is at Red Cliffs, near Mildura in the Murray Valley of North West Victoria. Alfred Deakin, a former Prime Minister of Australia, encouraged California's Chaffey Brothers to bring their irrigation expertise to the vast inland valley of the Murray River in North West Victoria. Since then the region has become one of Australia's most productive and prosperous sources of high quality produce including citrus, olives, almonds and grapes.

Deakin Estate

Purchased in 1967, Deakin Estate was planted to premium wine grapes which were sold as fruit until 1980 when a winery facility was built. By the time the Deakin Estate range was launched in 1994 some vines had achieved considerable age, whilst newer vines were being planted. An ongoing regime of viticultural innovation accelerated, ensuring the high quality, varietally specific fruit that has underpinned the success of the brand.

Deakin Estate now has 350 hectares under vine. It is warm and sunny where the great Murray River brings life to the region. Deakin Estate's efforts are focussed on producing fruit of the highest quality and expressive wines brimming with flavour and varietal character.

Since then the investment in extensive vineyard plantings has allowed Australia to share Australian wines with customers around the world. Deakin Estate wines can now be found in 28 countries outside Australia. The devotion of the winemakers and grapegrowers deliver the high quality wines that have made Deakin Estate so popular. After crafting and bottling, the Estate takes great measures to oversee the wines on their journey from the winery to warehouses and shipping ports around the world.
