A lovely nose of dark berries with hints of anise and mocha. The palate is soft and fruit driven with forest fruits and red currants. Easy drinking and perfect for drinking now.

VINEYARDS

The Wilyabrup sub-region of Margaret River is predominantly sourced for its consistency in producing rich fruit flavours and a small percentage is sourced from the Wallcliffe sub-region of Margaret River, located further south, providing subtle and elegant aromatics and fine tannins.

SEASON

The 2023 vintage was long and cool, resulting in fruit being picked later than we traditionally do. The cool conditions allowed the grapes to ripen slowly resulting in perfectly balanced flavours and natural acidity.

WINEMAKING

A considerable number of parcels go into making this Cabernet Merlot blend. A number of picks occur starting in the northern areas of Margaret River and working our way south over a couple of months. Each parcel is machine harvested during the cool of the night and transferred to static fermenters for a controlled and cool primary fermentation. After primary ferment each parcel is carefully pressed off. These parcels are sent to a French oak barrels for secondary ferment and maturation.
