About this Wine

The 2023 vintage was not too heavy and not too light. It was just right. So right in fact that our small plot of Cabernet Franc produced something very special, which we decided to bottle as a single varietal for the first time. We normally wouldn’t do this but at least the variety has Cabernet in its name. If Cabernet Sauvignon is the king of grapes, then Cabernet Franc is the beautiful princess.

From less than 1000 north-east facing vines, tucked away in the most sheltered part of the vineyard. The yields were dismally low, with only 800 kg harvested but the fruit had real personality and depth. Harvested by hand in late March, the fruit was then destemmed, individually berry sorted and naturally fermented in two French oak demi muids. Maturation followed in a single seasoned puncheon for 10 months.

This wine is a little bit serious while celebrating the vibrancy and perfume of Cabernet Franc. Medium bodied with aromas of raspberry, licorice and rose petal with a touch of pink peppercorn spice. The palate is all dark cherry and rocky road with a cool vein of plush velvety tannins, all balanced by pomegranate like acidity. – Gen & Rob Mann, Corymbia

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.
