" Doug Bowen makes some of the most elegant wines in Australia." Tim Atkin (The Observer)
At Bowen Estate there are 12 individual Cabernet vineyards, which combined produce our 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wine. Each vineyard is hand pruned using an arched cane system pioneered in Coonawarra by Bowen Estate. This system allows ultimate control over quality, ensuring consistency over vintages.
All vineyards are picked separately during the harvest to assess quality and are individually made, finally being blended prior to bottling.
This is a wine of vibrant colour, ripe fruit with hints mulberry, blackberry and dusty oak tannins. Palate medium bodied with good weight and abundance of fruit flavours finishing with velvet smooth tannins. The use of both French and Russian oak gives this wine great complexity and depth whilst showing integrated elegant fruit characters.

"Doug Bowen makes some of the most elegant wines in Australia." Tim Atkin (The Observer)
Bowen Estate's Shiraz is hand pruned and trellised with the 'hanging cane' method. This allows the grapes to utilize the sunshine to obtain optimum ripeness and flavour. The grapes are machine harvested, crushed and fermented on skins for 5 days. Approximately one third of the wine is barrel fermented in new wood each year. After racking, the balance of the wine is put into American oak barriques (225 litres) for maturation for about 20 months. The wine is then removed from the barrels, blended and bottled.
A lovely bright opulent wine with seductive sweet fruit, showing ripe spicy Shiraz flavours with a matching background of supple oak characters. The palate is medium bodied, well-rounded, finishing with soft tannins. This wine is made in the classic Coonawarra Shiraz style. The vintage of 2001 was characterised by wines that are fruit driven, elegant with a lovely palate structure of soft tannins and excellent palate weight.

"Doug Bowen makes some of the most elegant wines in Australia. This finely crafted, scented, complex, age-worthy Shiraz disproves the theory that Coonawarra is better suited to Bordeaux varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon." Tim Atkin (The Observer)
