Sue says that ants have five noses in their antennae, detecting separate smells, but you only need one nose to recognise this Coonawarra Cabernet! It's made simply but tastes complex. Lots of dark fruit, some liquorice and vanilla, a touch of cocoa and bay leaf, and a polished finish that leaves you wanting another glass.

Bellwether is the brainchild of winemaker, gardener, baker, music lover and all round general bon vivant Sue Bell. The winery is to be found at the historic 1868 Glen Roy Shearing Shed in Coonawarra. Here, Sue focusses on fermenting special parcels of fruit and making her own unique wines. In the traditional, some may say 'old fashioned' wine community of Coonawarra, Sue is a bolt of vitality. Bell has worked for some of the smallest and biggest wine companies in the world, with experience in most South Australian regions, Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania and vintages in California and Bordeaux. Her wines display a lighter touch and more vibrant fruit than is the local South Aussie norm, and yet are not 'weird' wines in any way...they are simply one enlightened individual's take on some great grapes....that happen to be delicious!
