This cabernet Sauvignon named after the settlement now knows as a ‘lost’ township, Benbournie was situated between the towns of Clare and Blyth. The Benbournie is from a single vineyard on the McRae Wood property of Jim Barry, which was planted by Jim Barry in 1964. --Jim Barry

Tasting Notes

This deep crimson and intensely aromatic wine are flooded with generous dark berry flavours and complemented by very fine, mineralic tannins that add great length and style.--Jim Barry
