Variety: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Margaret River
Vintage: 2006
Oak Maturation: Small percentage barrel aged to add complexity and depth to the palate.
Colour: Vibrant ruby red
Aroma: Lifted blackberry and cedar
Palate: Lifted red earth and blackcurrant aromas, that is truly varietal in the classical Margaret River style. Full of ripe mixed berries and very well structured.
Winemaking: Picked as cold as possible and gently crushed to assist in the cold soak before fermentation. Fermentation is carried out in small temperature controlled open fermenters. Gentle extraction was achieved by daily draining of wines from the skins and returning back over. After two weeks in the oak fermenters, the wine was pressed to French Oak Barriques and stainless steel tanks to complete the primary and malolactic ferment.
Typical Analysis: 13.5% Alcohol
Food Matching: Beef, lamb or pork
