A Better Bottle for the Moments That Matter: Wakefield Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Arrives in Ontario

A Cabernet that turns gatherings into something worth remembering.

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--This summer, Ontario welcomes a new go-to Cabernet. Wakefield Wines introduces its award-winning Estate Cabernet Sauvignon to LCBO shelves across the province, offering Canadians a more elevated choice for dinners, gatherings, and the moments that matter most.

This globally recognized Cabernet captures the elegance of Clare Valley winemaking, shaped by cool-vintage fruit, older French oak, and three generations of estate craftsmanship to deliver a distinctive style that stands apart from the expected.

Defined by layers of ripe red fruit and decadent dark chocolate, the wine is seamlessly balanced by silky tannins and an elegant, refined finish.

THE ART OF SHOWING UP STARTS BY BRINGING A BETTER BOTTLE

At its core, this Cabernet reflects a simple yet powerful truth: the bottle you bring says more than you think - signalling taste, effort and intention before anything is even poured.

Showing up well doesn’t need to be complicated. Wakefield Wines Estate Cabernet is a confident, elevated choice designed for the moments where the bottle you bring matters. Designed to fit seamlessly into real, everyday occasions, it moves naturally from casual dinners and backyard hostings, to more meaningful gatherings and celebrations, enhancing each experience without ever overpowering it.

Understated rather than attention-seeking, it leaves a lasting impression as the kind of bottle that defines the moment without saying a word.

A LEGACY OF QUALITY AND CRAFT

Backed by global awards and recognition, Wakefield Wines continues to earn top honours, reinforcing its reputation for consistent quality and craftsmanship. The Estate Cabernet Sauvignon has earned international acclaim, including Gold and Double Gold distinctions across prestigious competitions in Canada, the United States, Japan, Australia, Argentina, South Africa, Hong Kong, Italy, and New Zealand.

Most recently, the wine earned Gold at the Sakura Japan Women’s Wine Awards, as well as Gold at Selections Mondiales des Vins Canada and the Harvest Challenge in the U.S., in addition to Double Gold at the Pacific Rim International Wine Competition.

This award-winning philosophy is grounded in tradition yet made for today, blending decades of expertise with a modern, approachable style that feels both refined and effortlessly enjoyable. The Estate Cabernet Sauvignon stands apart from the heavier, oak-forward styles often seen in the category, offering a more elegant and balanced alternative designed for today’s palate.

Since 1969, Wakefield has remained a trusted name in Australian winemaking, building a global reputation for wines defined by consistency, character, and broad international appeal. Still family-owned today, the winery continues to honour its legacy while evolving for a new generation of wine drinkers.

About Wakefield Wines

In the late 1960s, the Taylor family set out to establish something enduring...not simply a vineyard, but a new standard in Australian winemaking. They chose the banks of the Wakefield River in the Clare Valley, South Australia, a site that would come to be known for wines of structure, balance and longevity. From the outset, the ambition was clear: to craft wines that would stand the test of time, chosen with confidence across any occasion. Three generations on, that philosophy endures. Wakefield Wines creates wines returned to with confidence, time and again. That confidence is built into every bottle, in its structure, balance and consistency over time. At the pinnacle, our wines are the purest expression of time, place and craft, reserved for more significant occasions. Wines not only to be enjoyed but selected with assurance when the occasion calls for something more.
