Nose

Intense with dark fruits coming through.

Palate

Rich, powerful dark fruits with soft smooth integrated tannins with good length and delicious layers of complexity. Exciting!

Growing Conditions

This Cabernet is from our 1997 vines sourced from our family vineyard just 10km east of the actual Margaret River in Western Australia.
Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are one of the world's most recognisable and best-loved red wine grapes varieties. It is particularly grown in the Bordeaux region of southwest France, which has a very similar climate to that of the Margaret River. In fact Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon wines are the most produced variety from the wine region.

Harvest

Our Cabernet Sauvignon vines are spur pruned and the canopies are split up and down.

Winemaking

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 French oak predominantly from the forests of Allier, Centre of France and Bertrange.

Aging

Stylistically we release our wines after they have had time to develop in the bottle, a French approach for releasing wines when they are ‘ready’.

Appearance

Vivid garnet.

More from this Producer

UMAMU EstateShiraz

This shiraz is produced from single small block vines planted in 1978 with 10 months in French barrels.

UMAMU EstateRose

This wine is inspired by all those who touch our lives. Beautiful delicate wine, delightful on its own or paired with food. Our first Margaret River Rosé which was produced from a 0.4ha parcel of Cabernet Franc planted in 2001 with a top up of Merlot planted in 1997. Both plots at our UMAMU Estate vineyard just 10km east of the Margaret River itself, one of Australia's most prized wine regions.

UMAMU EstateSauvignon Blanc

It is a real privilege to offer you our Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc. My mother's favourite wine (until UMAMU Estate of course!) was a Pavillon Blanc from Chateau Margaux in Bordeaux. So when we started making our own wine in the Margaret River, Western Australia, we just had to produce our own Sauvignon Blanc to emulate it.

UMAMU EstateChardonnay

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.

UMAMU EstateCane Cut Sauvignon Blanc

We are so happy we got the settings right in the vineyard to produce this Margaret River cane cut from Sauvignon Blanc vines planted in 1987.

UMAMU EstateAnn's Cabernet Sauvignon

We are excited to offer you this Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon from our wine cellar. This is one our favourite Margaret River wines in honour of my mother, Ann. This Cabernet is from our 1997 vines sourced from our family vineyard just 10km east of the actual Margaret River in Western Australia.
