Margaret River doing what it does best
Cabernet with deep black fruits and a savoury twist

91/100 - RAY JORDAN

"The region is Margaret River and it stands out like the proverbial. Rich and powerful cabernet from this great vintage packs quite a punch as it extends to a sustained finish.”

Ray Jordan - The West Australian

TASTING NOTES

This is a typical Margaret River Cabernet with layers of dark fruits, chocolate and dried herbs. It is richly-textured and has fine tannin and classic Cabernet drive.

 

SEASON

It was another fine season in Margret River, starting with above-average rainfall in winter to set up good ground moisture and healthy vines. The latter part of spring was warm, dry and calm, with no dramatic temperature spikes or dips, allowing flowering and fruit set to proceed unhampered. Even heavy rain events in December and January were well-timed to refresh the vineyard; both were followed by warm dry weather that mitigated disease pressure. It was somehow a warm, but mild season – warm enough for excellent slow ripening, with no severe heat spikes to damage fruit

 

WINEMAKING

The fruit is from select vineyards in Wilyabrup in the heart of Margaret River wine region. The fruit was destemmed and crushed then fermented in closed fermenters with pumping over. The wine was matured for 18 months in a mix of tank and barrel. Its everything we've come to expect from a Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon.


 

THE REGION

THE REGION

Margaret River

Margaret River is one of the most reliable wine growing regions in Australia and its monotonously glowing vintage reports can bring tears to the eyes of long-suffering vignerons in regions less favoured by Mother Nature.

Surrounded by ocean on three sides, the sea breeze brings cool air to moderate the long summer days.
