Majella

5 Star Winery - Halliday Wine Companion

"In 1968 Brian and Tony Lynn commenced planting a vineyard on the Lynn family’s property, Majella. Eventually the vineyard grew to some 60 hectares, mostly Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, with some small plantings of Riesling and Merlot. After many years of growing grapes for sale to major Coonawarra wineries we decided to market some of the wines under the Majella label. At present all our grapes are processed in the Majella winery under the guidance of Bruce Gregory and Michael Marcus. With well over 900 trophies and other wine show awards Majella is one of the most awarded small wineries in Australia." - Majella/Coonawarra

"The Malleea is one of Coonawarra's classics,The Musician one of Australia's most outstanding red wines selling for less than $20 (having won many trophies and medals). The largely fully mature vineyards are principally shiraz and cabernet sauvignon, with a little riesling and merlot." - James Halliday
