Tasting Notes
Aroma
Rich, primary blue forest fruits combine with hints of blackcurrant
and cassis. Complex floral notes reflect the quality of the vintage, with
a touch of classic bay leaf, cocoa and cedary spice from the subtle use
of French oak.
Maturation
13 months.
Appearance
Bright purple.
Palate
A bright and lifted palate with flavours of blue fruits, blackcurrant,
and cassis, showing lovely concentration and ripe, juicy tannins
that highlight the cool, elongated ripening period of the 2023
vintage. Freshness and vibrant acidity add to the fruit intensity,
while the gentle use of oak provides poise and density with finesse,
creating a layered and complex wine.
Vinification
Selected Cabernet Sauvignon parcels were harvested from two
blocks of varying clones (Houghton and 191) from our high-density
vineyard in Wilyabrup. Selection focused on vibrancy, freshness,
and varietal expression. The fruit was destemmed to static
fermenters, with some batches cold soaked to enhance fruit richness
without the presence of alcohol. The wines were pumped over three
times daily at the start of fermentation, later reduced once optimal
extraction was achieved. Malolactic fermentation was completed in
tank, followed by 13 months of maturation in French oak barriques,
30% of which were new. No fining was carried out.
Cellaring Potential
10+ years.
Vintage Notes
After a relatively cold, wet winter with solid rainfall, the growing
season started late with a later-than-average budburst. Cool, wet
weather extended into early spring; however, good fruit set
occurred across most varieties, setting up excellent yields. Late
spring and summer brought much drier conditions, although
temperatures remained mild. These favourable conditions
continued into the early red harvest, and early-ripening varieties
were picked in excellent condition despite the later-than-usual
season. Minor rain fell in early April, but was followed by fine
autumn weather, allowing Cabernet Sauvignon an extended
ripening period to fully mature tannins and develop flavour before
the traditional ANZAC Day cut-off. A significant rain event
occurred on 23–24 April, but fortunately all fruit had already been
harvested and secured in the winery. The main challenge during the
season was the complete absence of Marri blossom, which
increased bird pressure in vineyards, making netting essential.
Overall, 2023 was an outstanding vintage in Margaret River.
