Tasting Note

The Balnaves Coonawarra Vineyard was established in 1975, and is situated at the southern end of the Coonawarra Terra Rossa strip. The family, which has been associated with the district since 1855, remains fully committed to a high level of ‘hands-on’ involvement.

The Cheeky Red is a summer wine to be enjoyed in the sunshine with picnics of chicken, seafood or pasta and laughter with friends. Made in a traditional rosé style from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes ripened in the warm Coonawarra sun, Cheeky Red should be well chilled and enjoyed immediately before the long shadows of winter turn your attention to room temperature wines and log fires. Give your friends a bit of cheek!
