2018 was yet another exceptional vintage in the Margaret River GI. Good rain in December followed by mild to warm temperatures allowed for steady and slow ripening. Result – high yields and exceptional fruit quality. Yet another near perfect vintage for the reason. The red wines are young but very good indeed. This could be the vintage remembered for years to come.

2017 in Margaret River has proven to be exceptional in fact It was simply perfect; cool crisp mornings and evenings with beautiful warm and sunny days; not too hot, textbook conditions for great ripening especially for the key Margaret River variety Cabernet Sauvignon.

Winemaking
Cabernet Sauvignon fruit was sourced from a Wilyabrup vineyard at the warmer, northern end of the Margaret River appellation. The harvested fruit was then sorted and crushed into open vats for a cool, extended ferment, which lasted up to 3 weeks. During this period each parcel of fruit was pumped over and hand plunged to extract colour, fine tannin and varietal complexity. The wine was then matured for 14 months in a range of French oak barriques before blending by barrel selection.

Tasting Notes
A great example of a classic Margaret River Cabernet displaying aromas of dark fruits and cassis, which lead to a powerful fruit palate, with t he dark fruits taking pride of place along side the elegance of the oak, offering bay leaf like spice chocolate and coffee characters and a good acidity which will in turn allow this wine to develop into something very special.

Description

The Margaret River region is famous for two things: it’s dramatic coastline and boutique vineyards. Wise Wine, nestled in the hills overlooking Eagle Bay, is the only winery in the region to combine both. While tasting our award winning wines at our Cellar Door or adjoining Wise Vineyard Restaurant, you can drink in the views of our vineyard, the surrounding old-growth forests and the pristine ocean of Geographe Bay beyond.

However we’re not all beauty and no brains. James Halliday writes Wise is an “Outstanding winery capable of producing wines of the highest calibre” rating Wise Wine with 5 stars for three consecutive years.
Wise Wines was established in 1991 by biochemist Dr Ron Wise.

Our flagship range, Eagle Bay Wines, is an expression of our magic vineyard and is made from estate grown fruit. For our other ranges, our winemakers select fruit from WA’s premier cool climate viticulture regions. This freedom allows them to match the best grower for a particular varietal.
