McLaren Vale — 40 km south of Adelaide, influenced by Gulf St Vincent — produces Cabernet Sauvignons of remarkable richness and opulence. The red sand, black clay and loam soils over a limestone base, combined with Mediterranean influence, yield generous, warm wines. The colour is very dark, opaque purple garnet.
