Nose
A fragrant bouquet of violets and blackcurrant with a bay leaf note.
Palate
Subtle and defined palate of black cherry and cassis with olive tapenade notes. An elegant structure of firm and finely grained tannins providing excellent length.
Harvest
Our 2020 vintage started two weeks early, this
was due to the warm summer season leading up to vintage and these conditions carried on through the ripening stages. Only the most
balanced fruit from various sites across the Margaret River wine region make the cut for this blend. Our parcels are usually machine
picked during the night, at the peak of their fruit and tannin ripeness.
Winemaking
Each parcel of Cabernet Sauvignon was fermented separately, some in open fermenters, some in closed top fermenters, with daily tastings to tailor the best round but structured extraction. Batches remain on skins as much as needed post primary fermentation and are then pressed and matured in French and Hungarian oak for 15 months before the barrels and batches are individually selected and blended together for bottling.
Aging
Drink now, or cellar up to 10 years.
Appearance
Deep purple with bright crimson hues
Food Pairing
Pan fried Scotch fillet with rosemary and smoked garlic butter
