UMAMU Estate MacAnn Cabernets Bottle Preview
UMAMU EstateMacAnn Cabernets

We create exquisite, handcrafted Australian wine from our family vineyard in the Margaret River wine region with plantings dating back to 1978. Each bottle is deliberately and meticulously created – from the delicate balance tasted within each glass, to the touches of family handwriting and messages on our labels. We are honoured to offer you this Margaret River MacAnn Cabernets, named after our founders Mac & Ann and inspired by Aunty May of ex Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande in Bordeaux. Aunty May is why we planted the varieties to produce this blend in 1997. The blend comprises Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Click here to read more about our story with Aunty May. The fermentation was in a combination of open and closed static tanks and was completed in the tank before being pressed off skins at dryness after 12-18 days of skin contact. The wine was then matured for 18 months in about one third new French oak from the forests of Allier and the centre of France. Cheers!

We create exquisite, handcrafted Australian wine from our family vineyard in the Margaret River wine region with plantings dating back to 1978. Each bottle is deliberately and meticulously created – from the delicate balance tasted within each glass, to the touches of family handwriting and messages on our labels. We are excited to offer you our 2005 UMAMU Estate Semillon Sauvignon Blanc (Australian SSB) specially pulled out of our museum stock. It is rocking at the moment, full of flavour and intensity. It is drinking beautifully on its own and pairing well with a variety of cuisines. Our Australian Sauvignon Blanc parcel was planted in 1987, while our Australian Semillon parcel was planted in 1997 after my parents bought the vineyard.. Both vine canopies are well managed in order to improve light interception and hence development of flavours during ripening, while reducing any microclimate humidity. The Australian Sauvignon Blanc parcel is located at 130 metres asl – one of the highest in the Margaret River wine region. 2005 was my first vintage with the family vineyard. And low and behold it started to rain the day I opted for the picking. So we had to pause the pick and resume another day. So the harvest cost us twice as it were and that is the downside but the upside is we got a much more interesting wine given we had two picking ripeness and complexities for the fruit! The balance of the Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc is 65% to 35% respectively. The varieties were vinified separately, selecting an aromatic yeast for the Sauvignon Blanc, and a textural yeast for the Semillon. A portion of this homegrown Australian Sauvignon Blanc Semillon wine (Australian SBS) was fermented in French oak barrels to provide some background complexities and textures. The final blend was assembled when all the wines had completed fermentation. If you're looking to buy Australian wines online, you're sure to get heaps of enjoyment from this special 12 pack.

This wine is produced from Cabernet Sauvignon parcels planted in 1978 and 1982. Alongside our Shiraz vines planted back in 1978, the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are the oldest parcels on our family vineyard just 10km east of the actual Margaret River in Western Australia.

It was a Chardonnay from the Margaret River that brought my parents to fall in love with this stunning wine region in Western Australia back in the 1980s, and our own vineyard in the late 90s.
