The winning combination of Doug Balnaves fruit and Peter Bissell’s winemaking has Balnaves Winery propelled this 52-ha estate near the southern finish of Coonawarra into the leading echelon of Coonawarra producers. The flagship is The Tally, a huge, highly effective, oaky Cabernet Sauvignon that desires at least 5–8 years’ ageing. Cabernet Sauvignon is also in a highly effective mould with superior breadth and type as well as intensity – a definitely very good expression of Coonawarra fruit. Ripe, concentrated Shiraz can be at least as very good. At a additional inexpensive level, The Mix (typicallyMerlot/Cabernet Franc/Cabernet Sauvignon) and Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot, are the two ripe, round and pleasurable consuming if nothing at all far more. This currently being Coonawarra there is not significantly white but a Chardonnay with tasty fruit and nicely-worked oak is amongst the improved examples from the Limestone Coast. A sweetish Sparkling Cabernet is a respectable instance of its type. Doug Balnaves and son Peter also manage vineyards and make wines for many others in the district.
