- Vintage NotesAn epic Southern Margaret River vintage, a cool October and November gave way to a warm summer, accelerating ripening across all varieties. March brought a refreshing coolness, accentuating the delicate flavours of the harvest, with red varietals displaying a perfect tannin ripeness and magnificent colour.
- Vineyard NotesThe most southern and unique vineyard in the Margaret River Region. Situated in Augusta, surrounded by the Southern and Indian Oceans and just a stone’s throw from the Blackwood River inlet. This extraordinary location is influenced by the prevailing Antarctic winds of the Southern Ocean and moderated by the warmth of the mighty Blackwood river. By day it is 4-5 degrees cooler than Margaret River and by night it is 2-3 degrees warmer. Thus, creating wines with distinct flavour, character and age-ability.
- WinemakingIndividual parcels are selectively handpicked according to flavour, tannin ripeness and soil type. The fruit is kept separate, remaining in small batches, destemmed, hand sorted and gently tipped without maceration into the fermenter, ensuring a flavour profile that delivers a plush palate which is driven by Cabernet Sauvignon skin tannin. Whole berries are pressed to selected French oak barriques for malolactic fermentation in barrel. The wine sees minimal racking and a hands off approach ensuring it matures in peace.
