$375.00 GST Included
AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED
Made exclusively from our Wilyabrup vineyard, the wine is hand crafted from start to finish and highlights the culmination of everything we have learnt since our first release in 1987.
Nose: The nose exhibits complex aromas featuring blueberries, dark chocolate, dried bayleaf with a hint of cardamon. Fine dusty red earth characters bring a sprinkling of earthy notes.
Palate: Soft, immediately approachable yet structured palate. There is a fine minerality present which provides the drive and liveliness of the wine. Raspberry and boysenberry are concentrated on the palate with soft, fine grained and rounded tannins. This is a medium bodied wine showing the grace and lingering qualities.
Pairing: Duck with chocolate sauce.
Vineyard: The primary fruit for this wine was grown at the estate in Wilyabrup and this includes some of the oldest Cabernet Sauvignon on the estate. This was supplemented with Cabernet Sauvignon grown on a neighbouring Wilyabrup vineyard. 3 clones of Cabernet were included in this blend.
Winery: TThe fruit was picked in the cool hours of the early morning and allowed to cold soak for 48 hours before fermentation
was encouraged. Gentle pump overs to extract the tannins and colour throughout the ferment were watched carefully to ensure
the tannins remained soft yet structural. The wine was transferred to a combination of Coopers of new and used French oak
barriques. The wine is 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Malbec.
Fermentation: Initial fermentation on skins in open topped stainless steel fermenters, before maturation in 100% French oak
barriques – new and used.
