Description
Different vinification of the dominant Swan Coastal Mariginiup portion from that of the Miamup Road vineyard in Margaret River (both estate), resulted in a mix of 30% new American oak and 10% new French oak, the Swan wine pressed direct to the former, the Margaret River to the latter, in each case with used French oak making up the balance.
Ripe cherry and plum fruits have a savoury backdrop, the tannins fine but persistent.
