The wine with a Prime Minister's seal of approval
The Menzies Cabernet Sauvignon was named after Sir Robert Menzies, former Australian Prime Minister and well-known red wine enthusiast. In 1965, during a lunch at the Stock Exchange Club in Adelaide, Sir Robert Menzies declared the 1961 Yalumba Galway Vintage Special Reserve Claret to be “…the finest Australian red I have ever tasted.” This comment did not go unnoticed, and in 1987 when we produced our first wine from the Menzies Estate Vineyard in Coonawarra, the recognition was rewarded on the label of this outstanding wine.
