91.2/8.8% cabernet sauvignon/ malbec. Fruit sourced from 5 vineyards, wild ferment, all separate parcels, matured for 15 months in French oak (approx 40% new) before blending. Highly aromatic; a bouquet of cassis, raspberry, aniseed, spicy oak and earthy bramble rises out of the glass. The palate follows suit, resulting in a concentrated, supple and elegant cabernet, the very reason why Margaret River is so successful. Gorgeous wine from a near-perfect vintage.
95 points Erin Larkin winecompanion.com.au
All fruit parcels were selectively machine harvested or hand picked before being crushed or tipped directly into open fermenters for a few days soaking on skins. Once the wild ferment kicked in, we started plunging and doing pump-overs for subtle tannin extraction. The individual batches were fermented around 22-28 degrees, pressed and then transferred into new and used French oak barrels for maturation. After 14 months in 35% new French oak the Cabernet Sauvignon was blended, fined and bottled.
