Bright purple/red with dark core. Bright Cabernet fruit aromas with toasty oak. Medium bodied, complex at the first instance, with fine layers of oak overlaying ripe Cabernet fruits. This wine has persistent fine tannins and savoury fruit sweetness to resolve the finish. This wine will reward those who cellar.
WINEMAKER’S NOTE: Deep colour with the classic bouquet of briar Cabernet and unmistakably Margaret River this wine has a rich and structured palate.
VINTAGE: One of the better years in the region for red wines.
VINEYARD/S: Located in north of the Margaret River region our vineyard was planted almost 17 years ago. Low yielding.
VINIFICATION: Hand-picked grapes were fermented in a single open fermenter and plunged daily. On dryness the wine was run to new and one year old barrels. It was finally bottled after twelve months in oak and laid down for further maturation until release.
