1991 Plantagenet ‘Museum’ Cabernet Sauvignon
This is the winery that created the
defining imagery around the
founding of the Great Southern
wine region.
The wines are drinking beautifully now.
They do make terrific and rare gifts for wine lovers …
91 points Jeremey Oliver
The greatest contemporary bargain in Australian cabernet is a classically stylish, medium-bodied, finely structured and superbly elegant wine of remarkable balance and poise. Scented with dusty, cigarboxy and cedary scents of cassis, blackberries, dark plums, violets and dried herbs, itÕs long, complete and finely crafted. Underpinned by fine, crunchy tannins, its pristine expression of cassis, dark plum and mulberries knits tightly with smoky cedar/cigarboxy oak, extending with exemplary length and style towards a lingering and artfully balanced finish. Top drawer stuff. Old World style and charm.
About Plantagenet
Founded in 1968, Plantagenet has been imbued with the pioneering spirit of Tony Smith, the founder who envisaged great things for his land in Mount Barker, and so – established the very first Great Southern commercial sized Vineyards.
After a long-standing association with Plantagenet Wines, the Lionel Samson (founded in 1829) Sadleirs Group progressively acquired Plantagenet shareholding until full ownership in 2000 – when the first order of business was to retain Tony Smith as Chairman of the company.
A pioneer of the Great Southern region, Plantagenet embodies the best of Western Australia with its distinctive, elegant wines. Steeped in a rich heritage, Plantagenet’s expressive wines and family-owned sensibility make it one of the most trusted wine
brands in the country.
Producing around 30,000 Dozen cases of wine annually, Plantagenet exports to the UK, USA, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore as well as also supplying the domestic market.
Today, Plantagenet continues to be a family-owned business with Tom (a descendant of Lionel Samson) & Jo Wisdom at the helm and a vision to create wines of provenance and distinction that truly reflect the outstanding potential of the Great Southern wine region.
