About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Cabernet SauvignonMargaret River, AustraliaAfter careful harvesting, the fruit came into the winery for processing and spent 17-18 days on skins. Cold soaking was utilised to bring out fruit vibrancy and provide a richer fruit profile. The wine was put to barrel for Malo-lactic fermentation and were racked periodically during their 15-month maturation period. The barrels were 100% French oak and predominantly very tight grained selections, of which 30% were new with the balance being split between one and two-year-old barrels

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Stylish and engaging, the wine shows crème de cassis, dark plum, tobacco, game and spicy oak characters on the nose, leading to a concentrated palate that displays excellent depth and persistency. It’s wonderfully structured by chalky tannins, finishing firm and superbly long. At its best: now to 2030.
