Nose
The wine displays a powerful and intense bouquet of Cassis, Mulberry, Cedar and Tar.
Palate
The palate is a powerful display of dense and rich black fruit flavours that combine with the distinct gravelly ironstone characters and long silky tannins so often seen in the best wines from the region.
Winemaking
Situated in the renowned Wilyabrup sub-region of Margaret River, our Prize Catch
Cabernet is sourced from a small section of Cabernet vines within our Wildberry Farm
Vineyard.
Meticulous canopy and yield management were employed on this exceptional section of
vineyard to ensure that its pedigree was realized.
Following picking, the fruit was destemmed to an open-top fermenter. The primary
fermentation lasted for 11 days with regular hand plunging of the batch to ensure the
soft extraction of colour, flavour and tannins.
On completion of fermentation the wine was pressed to new French oak barriques for
the following 16 months.
In January 2014 the wine was assembled and lightly fined and filtered before bottling.
Aging
10-15 years.
Appearance
Deep intense Garnet.
