Vinification
A considerable number of parcels go into making this Cabernet-Merlot blend. A number of picks occur starting in the northern areas of Margaret River and working our way south over a couple of months. Each parcel is machine harvested during the cool of the night and transferred to static fermenters for a controlled and cool primary fermentation.

Made with all the accent on freshness and fruit, oak and tannins playing no role. It's a mix of cassis, bay leaf and black olive, giving a savoury edge to the core of the fruit. Exceptional value.

The star of a few years ago is now well established as one of the best value for money wines on the market. Comes from the classy winemaking of Jeremy Gordon at Amelia Park. Plenty of punchy fruit here with a lick of oak to lift and balance.
