Our first Cabernet Merlot was produced in 1982. We have always felt that the Merlot grape variety enhanced the Cabernet and in this case at 29%, the Merlot is more than a bit player. Indeed tasters sometimes suggest that the Merlot is dominant, with its velvety, rounded character. Merlot extends the flavour, enhances the finish and performs in a very positive fashion.

Plum and cherries with lifted floral notes on the nose. The palate is medium bodied with dark cherries, blueberries and savoury notes on the finish.

Margaret River is renowned for its premium Cabernet Sauvignons. This example emanates from this multi star rated Halliday Winery in the Yallingup Sub-Region. The palate is elegant with natural tannins, some floral qualities over plum and gravelly depth. A fine balanced wine, with a long palate that shows finesse. Enjoy.

A fine balanced wine, with a long palate that shows finesse.Ø WINEMAKING Each parcel of fruit is gently crushed and transferred into small open fermenters. Before fermentation starts the juice is concentrated by removing 15% of the volume. This facilitates a greater intensity of flavour. Heading down boards keep the cap submerged for better skin contact. The fermenters are temperature controlled to provide optimum conditions. Gentle extraction is achieved by the draining of wine from the skins and returning back over. Wine is then transferred to French oak barrels for maturation.Ø TYPICAL ANALYSIS 13.5% AlcoholØ FOOD MATCHING Barbecued meats, lamb, beef, chocolate and strong flavoured cheeses.MEDALS GOLD Qantas Wine Show2015 SILVER Royal Hobart Wine Show 2015 SILVER National Cool Climate Wine Show 2016

Shiraz & Cabernet Sauvignon is another match that delivers something greater than the sum of its parts. Blend the rich upfront flavour and a lingering aftertaste of Cabernet, with the silky softness consistency of Shiraz, add a splash of Merlot, and you have a Rouge of super delicious deliciousness. This blend has been simply foot-crushed, hand-plunged during wild ferment and basket pressed to old oak for some sleepy time. The Cabernet, Shiraz & Merlot are all from our Quindalup vineyard.

LEEUWIN ESTATE Prelude Cabernet Sauvignon, Margaret River

Fruit tannin and bold flavours of mulberries and wet slate. A focused core of fine textures and glazed cherries culminates in a mineral and persistent finish.

KarriBindi's Shiraz grapes are from mature vines growing on a north facing slope of karri loam and gravel soils. The wine was carefully aged in a mixture of new and old French barrels to enhance the fruit flavours but not overpower them. The deep red colour precedes aromas of cedar, all spice, black pepper, and mocha. The palate is focussed with fine grained velvety tannins, showcasing succulent plum, cherry and blackberry flavours.
