About this Wine

Our Cabernet Sauvignon is the culmination of an intensely detailed approach to our vineyards and grape selection. From our vigour and soil mapping techniques to the identification of select parcels and hand-harvesting bunch by bunch we ensure gentle handling through every stage of production.

APPEARANCE
Deep dark garnet with black plum edges.

NOSE
The aromatics are deep and complex consisting of a mineral blackcurrant core with touches of anise bay leaves and dark chocolate. Rich elements of rosemary spearmint and moist forest floor reveal themselves as the tightl wound profile gently unfurls.

PALATE
The palate has a powerful rush of cocoa powder with dark forest berry fruits of blackcurrant and mulberry peppered with notes of spiced ginger and caramel toffee. The seamlessly integrated palate of powdery tannins frame the perfectly weighted earthiness and fruit giving a long texture that harks of the saline coastal influence.

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.
