2019 Corymbia Cabernet Sauvignon, Margaret River

A realisation of a dream seeded by Rob’s Grandfather, Jack Mann, a departure from the orthodox, to achieve a unique expression of Margaret River Cabernet. Variety, place and experience are woven together to redefine what’s possible.

The second release from dry grown, organically farmed Calgardup vineyard. Located just 2km inland from the famous Redgate Beach in Margaret River, continued to revitalisd this vineyard with acute attention to detail. The fruit was individually berry sorted prior to natural, whole berry fermentation in a single French oak vat. Maturation followed in 4 seasoned barriques for 10 months.

Rob and Genevieve Mann have made a wine that tastes as fresh and vibrant as the pristine coastal location of its origin. It tastes of the grape, the dirt and the sea without pretention and exudes all the characters of Margaret River Cabernet that the world admires.

97 points Erin Larkin, January 2021

The 2nd vintage from the organically farmed Calgardup vineyard. Hand picked over 2 dates, berry sorted, wild whole-berry ferment in a single French oak vat, matured 10 months in 4 seasoned barriques. Luminescent ruby with glints of purple and black. It shines as if with its own dense internal light. The telltale ripe and chewy tannin profile handled masterfully by Rob Mann, with pristine fruit and great length of flavour. An exceptionally elegant, powder-fine cabernet, part of the new Margaret River breed. A massive, resounding, YES.
