A refined and elegant wine with cassis, leather, forest fruits and graphite notes.
Palate
It has wonderful line and length with fine tannins.
Vinification
Hand-picked fruit is crushed then destemmed into open fermenters. Ferments are maintained at
cool temperatures with minimal, gentle pump overs, to ensure delicate extraction of flavours and
colour. The wine is on skins for up to two months, then pressed off to a mix of French oak barrels -
forty percent in new with the remainder into second and third use oak for eighteen months barrel
maturation.
Cellaring Potential
10+ years.
Vintage Notes
Leading into 2022 we saw a cold wet winter, followed by a cool spring which resulted in good
flowering and fruit set. The back end of the year warmed up and we then saw consistently
warm, dry conditions which resulted in great vine growth and berry development. The fruit
harvested showed beautiful flavour, balance and ripeness.
Region Notes
A single vineyard in the Wilyabrup sub-region of Margaret River is selected for this wine. This
vineyard consistently produces perfectly balanced parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon,. The site is
completely dry grown on gravel loam soils and the quality of the site is reflected in its ability to
grow healthy well balanced canopies and ultimately grapes.
