More About 2021 Buller Wines Balladeer Rutherglen Australia Cabernet Sauvignon Buller Wines saw its humble beginning over 100 years ago in Rutherglen, one of Australia’s most recognized regions, and has since become one of the leading wineries in Victoria. Rutherglen’s initial claim to fame was for fortified wines, but a keen interest by viticulturists brought innovation and expertise to the area discovering the immense potential for ripening Bordeaux varietals. Balladeer is Buller’s line of Mediterranean-style wines with an Aussie twist, highlighting Old World winemaking techniques while embracing the region’s ancient terroir. Extended growing seasons are preferential to grape growing because they allow for deeper and more intricate aroma, flavor, and tannin development, and 2021 provided just that for the Balladeer Cabernet Sauvignon. At our price of $22, this wine offers a substantial value.
