The Voyager Estate Coastal Cabernet vineyards are planted in the Stevens Valley area which is located toward the coast, close to the township of Margaret River. The area is characterised by gentle slopes of red/brown gravelly top soils, about one metre deep, with a stony/clay subsoil. Located in close proximity to the Indian Ocean with its cooling sea breezes, nature provides the perfect microclimate for the development of exceptional Cabernet grapes.
Made in a bright, approachable and fruit driven style, the fruit was destemmed but not crushed to preserve the whole berries. Ferments occurred in a combination of open, static and concrete vessels at 27 degrees to preserve aromatics and temper the extraction of colour and tannin. After pressing the wine matured in French oak and concrete tanks until blending and bottling in December 2021.
