Planted in 1998 this small, dry grown Cabernet Sauvignon block frames our Cellar Door and provides the superb grapes for our Tregea Reserve Cabernet.  A beautiful backdrop to our Cellar Door and rightly named Tregea’s Terrace.

Soil offers gravely loam, east west running block with an easterly aspect. Being tucked away in the shady and cool soils that sit next to the old river bed, these grapes are typically  some of the last picked each year.

Named after the original owner of the Kilikanoon Cellar Door property John Tregea, our flagship Cabernet Sauvignon is comprised of fruit grown on the cooler Cellar Door site. This is complimented with fruit from the warmer vineyards at the Kilikanoon winery in Leasingham.

Inky red in colour, with youthful crimson hues. Aromas of fresh red berries, riper blackcurrant notes, hints of leaf and mint all meld seamlessly together, seductively supported classy French oak spices. On the palate the 2018 Tregea Reserve is textured yet taut with a linear palate, the noble flavours of cassis, tobacco leaf, nuances of liquorice and lively red berries all superbly combine, further enhanced and fleshed out by the wines lively acidity and fine grained tannins; a Reserve wine made for the ages.
