From the Barossa to the Skies – Lou’s Reserve Takes Flight
A little piece of the Barossa is taking to the skies!
We are incredibly proud to announce that our Lou’s Reserve 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon has been selected for British Airways Business Class, with passengers set to enjoy this special wine from 2027.
For our family, this is more than an exciting international achievement. It’s a celebration of three generations of winemaking, a passion for Cabernet Sauvignon and a wine that holds a very special place in our hearts.
A wine inspired by Lou Miranda
Lou’s Reserve was created to honour our father, Lou Miranda, whose passion for wine and dedication to the family business continues to inspire everything we do at Lou Miranda Estate. The label carries his name, but the wine represents so much more, our family’s winemaking heritage which began in 1939, the knowledge passed down through generations and our commitment to producing wines that stand the test of time.
Why Cabernet Sauvignon?
While the Barossa Valley is renowned for its Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon has always held a special place in our family’s winemaking story. We love Cabernet for its elegance, structure and remarkable ability to age gracefully. It’s a variety that rewards patience, both in the vineyard and in the cellar, developing beautiful layers of complexity over time.
For winemaker Angela Miranda, Lou’s Reserve is an opportunity to showcase Cabernet Sauvignon at its finest. Selecting exceptional vineyard parcels and only the finest barrels, Angela crafts a wine that reflects both the character of the vintage and the timeless style of Cabernet we love.
The 2022 vintage was particularly special, with a long, cool growing season allowing the fruit to develop exceptional flavour, freshness and balance. The result is a beautifully structured Cabernet Sauvignon, rich with dark berry fruit, subtle savoury spice and fine, elegant tannins.
A proud moment for our family
To see a wine that carries our father’s name being served to passengers travelling the world is something we’re incredibly proud of. From our family vineyards in the Barossa Valley to British Airways Business Class, it’s a wonderful reminder of just how far a passion for winemaking can take you.
We look forward to raising a glass to this exciting new chapter!
