Vinification

As this wine is a blend , there are a number of picks that create this classic Margaret River Blend. Each parcel is assessed and picked at its optimum ripeness and brought into the winery for its intended destination. Every pick is kept separately in the winery and is fermented on its skins for at least one months. The wine is then pressed off and sent to a selection of French oak Barrels for twelve months maturation. After barrel ageing is complete the wine is carefully blended and prepared for bottling.

A little lifted on the nose with some nail varnish, but some relatively attractive brambleberries also feature. Fruity and quite resiny on the finish. Drink now.

Deep colour; while cabernet and merlot have bragging rights, malbec and petit verdot also make their presence felt. Matured for 20 months in French oak, this is a formidable wine - in the best possible way. It's full-bodied, it's generous, it's fleshy, yet retains a quiet elegance.
