The winery's roots trace back over a century when Dr. W.T. Angove arrived from England to establish an estate at Tea Tree Gully in South Australia. Produced and bottled on the family's estates, this 2002 vintage was released in a year when Angove's was recognized as the Business SA\/Austrade Regional Exporter of the Year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \"Bear Crossing\" name and label design pay tribute to the native koala population that once heavily populated the lush bushland surrounding the original winery. As the area developed into a northern suburb of Adelaide, the koalas retreated to nearby foothills. The label recalls the warning signs placed where these marsupials are known to cross roads. The creation of this wine directly supported the Australian Koala Foundation, contributing to their educational and conservation efforts to protect the vulnerable species.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine is crafted in South Australia, the country's most important wine-producing state, responsible for over half of Australia's total wine production. Spanning six latitudes, the state encompasses a diverse range of climates, from warm inland zones to cool highland regions, with Adelaide serving as the central hub. The blend brings together Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Cabernet Sauvignon is globally recognized for creating structured red wines and is widely planted in renowned areas such as Bordeaux, California, Washington, and Tuscany. It is complemented by Merlot, a classic dark grape traditionally grown in similar regions as well as Northern Italy, known for contributing to the production of soft red wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Angove's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57201745232198,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-822_1e0945e5-8b7f-41b5-975d-a2ac3a374dcf.jpg?v=1787744753","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/south-australia-cabernet-merlot-angoves-2002","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
