Cabernet Sauvignon 88% Merlot 12%. Sourced from two plots in Margaret River, from vineyards planted on gravelly soils and farmed under an organic regime. The vines in these vineyards produce moderate yields of high quality fruit which conveys a clear sense of place.
Fruit parcels were hand harvested and fermented separately in a combination of open, static and concrete fermenters. Following 16 days fermentation, wines were pressed and matured in French oak for 14 months then blended and filtered before bottling in September 2020.
2019 provided an unusually cool, late season with below average January temperatures contributing to a delayed start to harvest. Yields were low, a benefit in a cooler, later season, and reds were picked in outstanding condition with developed flavour, good density and fine, ripe tannins.
