Composed of free-run and press-fractions found in both Mystae and Magna Praemia, the name ‘Destinae’ captures the essence of all Destiny Bay wines. With a higher percentage of Merlot, this blend is more “Right Bank” Bordeaux in style. Approachable at a young age, Destinae offers complex dark fruit aromas and has the potential to age for a decade or more.

WINEMAKER’S TASTING NOTES:
A deep maroon in colour is complemented with fragrant and peppery aromatics owing to some of the best Cabernet Franc we have ever produced. The nose gives way to luscious dark berry aromas and hints of cocoa. On first taste the palate is rich and broad with vanilla notes that sweeten the mid-palate backed up by restrained oak. While intensely concentrated, the tannins
and alcohol balance each other as this bolder vintage of Destinae remains elegant and approachable. Look for raspberry, cherry and musk notes to come forward as this wine evolves in the cellar over a very long life.
ENJOY FROM: 4-12+ years from vintage.

Buying At Auction?

Your Questions, Answered

What do you need from me to get started?

We will need you to confirm that you are over 18 (for obvious reasons!) and to open an account by registering on the site. This will include provision of credit card details for any eventual purchases. You will also need to sign that you have read the terms and conditions.
How many wines are in each Lot?

You will see the quantity (number of bottles) stated above the price. Please note that the bid-price is per bottle so you will need to multiply the price by the number of bottles in the lot to calculate the total price of the lot.
Can I cancel my bid if I change my mind?

All bids are final - please think before you confirm your bid.
How much is the Buyers' Commission?

We have an extremely competitive buyers' commission of 16.5% (GST inclusive). This will be added to the final winning price of your Lot at the end of the auction.
What are your freight charges?

Please see our Delivery Policy for full details relating to freight.
Is there a Guarantee on my wine?

Under Australian law, consumer guarantees do not apply to goods purchased at auction - all such purchases are at the risk of the Buyer. We will always provide as much detail as we can as to the visual condition and provenance of each Lot, however this is done so as a guide rather than as a guarantee.
