Alex 88 Cabernet Sauvignon

The Alex 88 block is named after Miss Nora Alexander, who owned and lived there until her death in the mid 1960s. Mildara winery acquired the parcel of prized terra rossa soil and then sold it to Wynns some years later.

Wynns planted Cabernet Sauvignon vines on the block in 1988 (hence Alex 88) and it has been a regular contributor to John Riddoch and Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon. The winemaking team have high regard for this vineyard and are proud to bottle it as a single vineyard wine.

In the last few years fruit from Alex 88 has been used in several trials including a viticultural Masters thesis - with promising results that justified making this single vineyard wine.
