Watkins Family Cabernet Sauvignon South Australia 2019
Miss out on that 94 point Aussie? How about another 94 POINT, organic, crazy delicious cabernet sauvignon – all for over 50% OFF and under $16!? Saturday’s Down Under Wonder continues! Estate-grown cabernet, at a price that can’t be beat and a quality you’ll scarcely believe!
Watkins cabernet sauvignon blends fruit from their two vineyards – their home estate of Langhorne Creek, and their Adelaide Hills parcel just a few miles northwest. It is dark, intense, elegant, floral, and spicy all at once – pulsing with mulberry and blackberry, blueberry and sage, plus lots of cool minty freshness, a layer of chocolate creaminess, and accents of anise and vanilla – just one of the best under $16 cabernets we’ve ever had, bar none!
The Watkins Family owns 141 hectares across South Australia – covering plots in both Adelaide Hills and Langhorne Creek with an almost Mediterranean-like climate ideal for juicy and full cabernet pleasure. Crazy accessible and wildly easy to drink (c’mon, this is only SIXTEEN bucks!). 94 points, at a price like this?! If you need a “house” red, and really, who doesn’t…look no further! Load up on this, and reap the benefits all year long!!!
Watkins are the new wave of serious winemakers with numerous accolades awarded to their wines right from the first year of the brand’s existence including a wine show trophy. Ben, Sam and Jo as the new generation look forward to continuing on this path of creating modern, juicy styles of wine with rock solid dependability. This is fresh winemaking born from winemaking excellence.

About The Producer
The Watkins family entered the wine industry in 1997 when David and Ros Watkins planted their first vineyard in South Australia. In 2019, David and Ros brought their children into the fold: Sam Watkins as Winemaking Director, Ben Watkins at Commercial Director and Jo Watkins as Export, Sales and Marketing Director. Together the Watkins family own and operate a winery and vineyard (8ha) in Clarendon, Adelaide Hills and a vineyard in Langhorne Creek (141ha).
There was an opportunity to start selling their premium wine from these vineyards directly to consumers, which saw the start of the Watkins label. Sam Watkins, as the winemaker, has spent over 15 years training and refining his palate. Sam has undertaken vintages in well-known wine regions across the world including the Napa Valley in the USA and the Duoro Valley in Portugal. His specialisation focuses on unlocking the optimal expression of variety from the cool climate premium fruit produced on the Watkins' vineyards.
