The Centenary of Federation Red Blend 1999 Magnum is a uniquely Australian creation conceived for the millennium celebration, assembled from barrel parcels donated by each of the nation’s 61 wine regions under the guidance of leading winemakers. Blending Cabernet and Shiraz across multiple states, this wine was crafted as a 1999 vintage red intended for presentation to Commonwealth dignitaries and to support the National Wine Foundation’s charitable initiatives. The magnum format underscores its ceremonial purpose. Composed to reflect both regional richness and a unifying national expression, it combines ripe berry and dark fruit flavours with cedary oak and spice, wrapped in supple tannins and a balanced freshness. More than a wine, it stands as a liquid monument to Australian viticultural collaboration at the turn of the century.
