About this Wine

A single vineyard wine sourced from their Karridale property in the southern part of Margaret River which is sustainably farmed following organic practices.

A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon (for structure and flavour), and 5% Malbec (providing colour and richness), whichwas selectively picked, then sorted for optimum quality. The fruit spent 17 days on skins to extract colour, tannin and flavour, with fermentation taking place in one tonne hand-plunged open fermenters. Matured in French barriques for 18 months, followed by barrel selection and blending, resulting in 50% new oak in the final blend.

The wine is a luminous deep red in colour. A vibrant aromatic nose is suggestive of blue and red fruits, with hints of bay leaf, vanilla, spice & cedar. The palate is medium-bodied with lifted and expressive Cabernet fruit flavours; smooth, refined tannins & tremendous length. It would pair nicely with lamb cutlets and redcurrant jelly.

Cellaring potential of 20+ years.

Margaret River Wine

In the southwest of Western Australia, the Margaret River wine region is unique in that it is the most maritime-influenced region in all of Australia. The cool Indian ocean breezes come in through the summer to keep the temperatures around the vines steady resulting in an unusually even accumulation of warmth in the growing season. It is also quite dry as interestingly less than 20% of the annual rainfall occurs as the grapes are growing. The region’s climatic factors have been compared to what Bordeaux would be like in a dry season. While the region’s total production is relatively small (3% of Australia’s total wine production), it is responsible for 20% of our premium wine market.

Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz as well as Bordeaux blends are all very popular red wine options in the region.

For whites, refreshing blends of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon as well as complex, age worthy Chardonnays are the specialties.
