Harvest
A cool wet spring paired with great soil health set the tone for a great start to the warm summer. As the weather started to turn leaf plucking and fruit dropping were instigated, putting us in a strong position for the warm wet conditions to come. Further canopy and fruit management allowed us to pick with optimum ripeness and great fruit intensity.

Winemaking
The fruit was handpicked at a variety of ripeness levels to create complexity within the fruit flavour profile. Once in the winery the fruit was hand sorted and processed for fermentation in stainless steel. Maturing in a selection of new and old oak for a period of 12 months of which 18% were new, created a delicate and approachable style of Margaret River Cabernet.
