This blend is dominated by deep press fractions of Cabernet Sauvignon and is reminiscent of a “Left Bank” Bordeaux-style wine. Optimum balance and character are achieved through the addition of free-run and press fractions of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot. Fine, dense tannins give this wine great structure and long-term ageing potential. The name Magna Praemia is Latin for “great rewards.”
71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 5% Malbec, 5% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot

WINEMAKER’S TASTING NOTES:
Encased in a dense, dark colour that hints at its depth, this Magna Praemia expresses brooding black fruits with a whisper of clove, baking spice and vanilla that lurks beneath the surface. On the first sip the palate is enveloped in currants, smashed berries and finished off with tobacco, treacle and a hint of cola. After further tastes, lavender and other aromatic herbs rest on top of perfectly integrated oak notes of cedar, graphite and a touch of pencil shavings. Rich, seamless, deep and with a long finish, this Magna Praemia is approachable now, but will reward those who cellar it with layer upon layer of complexity in the years to come.
ENJOY FROM: 3-20+ 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.
