The first ever Bekkers Cabernet Sauvignon and an important milestone for our Clarendon Vineyard Estate resurrection.The 2023 Bekkers Cabernet Sauvignon is entirely sourced from the historic Bekkers Clarendon Vineyard Estate.Until now we have resisted the temptation to make a wine from one of McLaren Vales historically important varieties Cabernet Sauvignon. We love the Cabernet wines from the valley floor. Theyre plush and intense darker fruited but our ambition has been to make wines with high-toned aromatic varietal expression. A little more medium bodied with bright clarity of fruit. We think we have found a nice balance between traditional McLaren Vale generosity of flavour and some slightly cooler varietal tones in Clarendon.In our estimation we had inherited some 35-year-old Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc vines in just the right spot to produce an outstanding Cabernet wine.90 Cabernet Sauvignon 10 Cabernet FrancHalliday Wine Companion 97pts...Fragrant classically leafy but ripe poised and elegant with mulberry currant pencil shavings pepper cedar a maritime kombunori note and a lilt of violet. Its deeply flavoured but so pure elegant and unforced. This takes McLaren Vale cabernet to new heights.

Reviews Robert Parkers Wine Advocate 2023 McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 96 ptsDRINK FROM 2025-2043The 2023 Clarendon Cabernet Sauvignon is leafy and layered with cassis sweet tobacco bay leaf and a hint of tapenade. This is supremely elegant medium-bodied and complex with a freshness of acidity that enlivens the fruit and palate. Effortless comes to mind. The fruit is sourced from a terraced vineyard site up in Clarendon with dramatic views and staggering potential for high-quality fruit the result of which we see here. This is excellent. 13 alcohol sealed under screw cap. Halliday Wine Companion 2023 McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 97 ptsHand picked from the steeply sloped contour-planted proprietary Clarendon site a 90s vineyard originally planted in the 19th century that promises much excitement in the future. Emmanuelle and Toby Bekkers believe this part of McLaren Vale is ideal for cabernet this has 10 cabernet franc too yielding varietally on-point elegant wines. Its hard to argue with that based on this evidence. Fragrant classically leafy but ripe poised and elegant with mulberry currant pencil shavings pepper cedar a maritime kombunori note and a lilt of violet. Its deeply flavoured but so pure elegant and unforced. This takes McLaren Vale cabernet to new heights.

Tasting Notes
My first attempt at making a cabernet from Australia. Our resurrected Clarendon Vineyard Estate delivered some amazing fruit intensity of flavour and finesse of tannin. Rcih but light intense yet elegant.

Mushroom risotto with portobello a little dusting of truffle and if you have access to add some chanterelle and morille.

J Mason
Just a quick note to say I am so glad I found Australia Tasting Room! Since leaving Australia, I have missed some of my favorite wines. I researched other freight companies, but none offered the personal touch service of Australia Tasting Room. You have a great selection from the best vineyards. You added others upon request, and also gave great recommendations when asked. And customer service does not stop with the purchase— The team keep me updated on the shipment every step of the way! I cannot imagine a better service from people who know wine and love to share that knowledge. You have a customer for life! Cheers, J Mason

The wine was delivered by GSO Courier early this am and was in perfect shipping condition. The bottle temperature was cool to the touch which is amazing given we have been hitting 37C every day for the last week here in our California summer.
Well done!
I have put the wine into our temperature controlled bottle storage to let them rest for a week (mostly for the 3 bottles of red). I did put one of the Rosés in the frig which we will try tomorrow because we are out to dinner tonight with friends.
Your Rose of Virginia is my favorite rosé, above French and Californians that we have consumed with Tablas Creek “Dianthus” from near Paso Robles being a second.
Now that we have experienced a shipment from you, I am sure we will order a couple of cases more but will wait until weather is cooler for us and the wine.
Again thanks for an excellent wine and the good service.
Cheers,
Richard A.

The wine arrived last week in good shape - nothing broken or leaked. Your packing design is impressive. Laying it down for a couple of months to settle in. Looking forward to enjoying it. Thanks very much

Australia Tasting Room is a very fine company, with professional direction and management. I appreciate the friendly service, and all your efforts above and beyond to make all deliveries happen. Most impressive were the instant answers and responses any time I had a question. All during a pandemic! Pretty amazing when you think about it.
Highest regards,
Judy M
P.S. One Contact, One Process, and One Delivery - customers and wine treated equally and expertly, with care. You really can’t beat that! Great job.

Hi,
Glad to hear my last case from our trip is on its way!
Your service has been very helpful in getting my wine shipped safely to me. All previous four cases arrived safely.
Now I need to order my “wine needs” via internet and use your services again.
Best regards,

Amazing professionalism and kind assistance from Australia Tasting Room!
I was experiencing confusion with a wine order from a winery in Australia and Australia Tasting Room actually intervened to help clarify things. And not just with a simple email, but with a phone call!! We spoke directly and sorted out the details. It was a wonderful reminder that chivalry and quality customer service still exists!! We will use them in a heartbeat!!

Our twelve pack of Tasmanian treats arrived yesterday afternoon without a scratch on them! Now we get to enjoy drinking them with family and friends. Hopefully we can toast some excellent defensive draft picks by the Packers soon!
Thanks for an excellent experience with Australia Tasting Room!
If you ever find yourself in Wisconsin, let us know. We're only an hour away from Lambeau.

Thank you again for your expedited attention to our order and its shipping. The wine has arrived in wonderful condition, and we shared a bottle with one of our friends on Friday who enjoyed it as much as we did.
We will continue to watch for its availability in our area, and we wish you continued success.
Best regards,
Jerry K.
