92 pts – Halliday Wine Companion

This wine is a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot sourced from specialist vineyards in the Porongurup, Frankland River and Mount Barker sub regions of the Great Southern wine region in Western Australia.

The individual batches were fermented in small open fermenters and then matured in a mixture of new and older French oak barriques. Following nine months in oak, the wines were carefully blended and returned to barrel for a further nine months prior to bottling.

A dense, inky red with some youthful purple hues. A complex, perfumed and spicy nose of blackcurrant, mint and tobacco leaf palate. A full, seamless and textured palate of blackberry, plums and spicy vanillin French oak complemented by a long finish of chocolate mint, raspberry and fine tannins.

Description

Great Southern Region
The Great Southern wine growing region provides unmatched versatility and quality for a winemaker. From the elegance and delicacy of cool climate Riesling to the restrained intensity of Denmark Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The texture and richness of Mount Barker Cabernet and the structure, weight and complexity of Frankland River Shiraz.

Harewood Estate showcases this potential in a range of wines produced from grapes grown in select, low yielding vineyards.

Awards
For 10 consecutive years, Harewood Estate has received 5 stars from James Halliday – Australia’s most influential wine critic – for “wines of exemplary quality and typicity”. We have been awarded the elusive Five Red Stars for a “consistent record of excellence” since its introduction in 2006. More than anything else, these awards are a testament to the quality of wine grapes grown throughout the Great Southern region.
