Five small blocks of Cabernet Sauvignon were selected for this blend: three from Yallingup and two from Wilyabrup. The Yallingup Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards have provided the earthy, chocolate, blackberry notes with fleshy texture; the Wilyabrup components contribute ripe blackcurrant and violet aromatics with dense and rich filigreed long tannins.

The 2021 vintage was cool and late; spring was windy, wet and stormy in Margaret River which is not unusual. Combined with above average yields and a summer that continued to witness regular wet weather, the growing season was more challenging than most.

Vineyard details were of utmost importance for Cabernet Sauvignon in the 2021 vintage. Those that did the work got the results, as I feel we did.

The 2021 Dirty Boots has a complex aroma including blackcurrant, kalamata and bay and tomato leaf with whiffs of cocoa and cedar. The cooler season has allowed us to craft a medium bodied savoury and elegant style of Cabernet Sauvignon. A thread of fine knit tannin weaves through the palate backing up the blackberry and chocolate fruit, finishing long and fine.

About Snake and Herring Wines

Snake and Herring was founded in 2011 by two wine industry junkies, Redmond “Herring” Sweeny and Tony “Snake” Davis. Compelled to walk away from their professional roles at the same time, Redmond and Tony decided to embark on a journey to create their own wine label. Over a parcel of epic Porongurup Riesling, an idea began to form. Many late-night texts were exchanged and early morning vineyard rendezvous arranged and before long Snake + Herring was created and a Porongurup Riesling born.

Like a good wine, Redmond and Tony are a well-balanced team. Tony tends to be dreamy, geeky, moved by the magnificence of science in wine. Capturing and bottling the best of fruit from each site and vintage really ignites him. Redmond has an agricultural and accounting background as well as a forklift driver’s ticket and he’s not afraid to use it. He knows the market, he knows how to sell wine and thankfully he has a cracking palate.

This partnership has seen Snake + Herring achieve great success, with their latest triumph being the opening of Yarri Restaurant + Bar Dunsborough with Sal Davis and awarded chef Aaron Carr at the helm.
