Nose

The nose is complex and shows dark fruits, cassis, tapenade and a hint of tobacco spice.

Palate

The palate is rich and powerful with flavours of plums, blackcurrant leaf, olives and smoked meat. Bright acidity balances this wine with a vibrant strawberry flavours and fine-grained tannins lend exquisite texture and mouthfeel to this wonderfully varietal Cabernet Sauvignon.

Harvest

The Deep Woods Estate ‘Grand Selection’ Yallingup and Wilyabrup wines have been produced to highlight the distinct style of two of Margaret River’s best sub-regions.

The fruit for the Grand Selection Yallingup Cabernet was sourced from a single vineyard from the original Abbey Vale vineyard planted in 1983. This wine showcases the hallmarks of a true Yallingup Cabernet Sauvignon with incredible power and generosity of flavour yet fine effortlessly silky tannins.

Winemaking

The wine was aged for 18 months in a combination of new and seasoned French oak barrels. This resulting wine is a selection of the very best five barrels from within this barrel group with 60% new, tight-grain French oak and 40% seasoned oak barrels used. This is a wine of classic regional expression and poise.
