Beautiful palate weight and tannin structure with lashings of blackberry and pomegranate. Bold, soft and delicious. Aged in French oak for twelve months, this wine drinks beautifully now and will benefit from cellaring. Super limited release. 

VINEYARDS

The Wilyabrup sub-region of Margaret River is used for its consistency in producing rich fruit flavours, providing subtle and elegant aromatics and fine tannins.

SEASON

Leading into the 2021 vintage saw fairly ideal growing condition that where warm and dry, Early February and January saw a cooling off and significant rain events that slowed down ripening and retained natural acidity. The only downfall with these conditions was the added pressure in the vineyards to control potential fruit split and disease. Fortunately our vineyards were unaffected and the fruit coming in was pristine.

WINEMAKING

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 kept separate and sent to a mix of new, second and third use French barrels for secondary ferment and maturation for twelve months.

TASTING NOTES

This wine is beautifully fragrant wine with lashings of blueberry, pomegranate and fennel. The palate is bold and smooth, with excellent tannin structure. Aged in French oak for twelve months.
