Surveyed in 1851, V&A lane is a long, straight road which dissects the original electorates of Victoria and Albert at the midpoint of Coonawarra’s famous terra rossa strip.
The area is celebrated for its exceptional cabernet sauvignon and shiraz wines – and the V&A Lane Shiraz 2016 is no exception.
The Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards from V&A Lane have been important contributors to Wynns’ top wines for many years. However this area is also gaining a reputation for a great Shiraz and a marriage of the two varieties is a part of Wynns history, going back to its earliest blends.

Palate:
Co-fermentation of the two varieties creates a rich
and textured style, with unique tannin structure.
Targeting a long skin soak takes the naturally rich
fruit into savoury and complex territory. Dark
brambly fruits are layered with smoky black tea
fragrances and black spices. Velvety tannin creates
depth and is defined by crisp acidity and beautiful
line, leaving the palate full and long with a smoky
gravelly finish.
