Bellwether Cabernet Sauvignon

Bellwether is the brainchild of Sue Bell, based in the 1868 Glen Roy Shearing Shed in Coonawarra. Sue makes wines in Coonawarra as well as other regions of Australia, including as far aeld as Tasmania. Her selection of fruit is classics from cool climates but also playing with mediterranean varieties suited to dry climates. Climate change underlies every decision in winemaking for Bellwether wines, from appropriate varietal/region matches to sustainable winemaking. Texture and complexity intrigue Sue and are hallmarks of how her wines are made - 100% indigenous yeast and gently handled.
Grown by award-winning Mike & Brent Wetherall in Coonawarra’s famous (indeed World Heritage listed) terra rossa soils. Vines are hand pruned, grapes are hand- picked, preserving the indigenous yeasts for fermentation. Tight grain French oak barrels with only a very small amount of new oak so as not to overshadow site expression.
