Cabernet
Variety: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Region: 100% Margaret River Sub-region: Wilyabrup Walcliffe Cellaring Potential: 5-10 years Winemaker notes Bouquet: Black and red berry fruit are complemented by earthy graphite and dark chocolate notes. Maturation in seasoned French oak gives a subtle background of vanilla and spice. Palate: Medium bodied and vibrant palate sums up this wonderful expression of Wilyabrup Cabernet. The palate is fresh and full of vibrant mulberry, cassis and black cherry flavours. Mature, ripe and fresh tannin drives the flavour to a long and persistent finish. Winemaking The fruit was picked on the 2nd and 24th of April showing excellent flavours and tannin maturity. Lightly crushed fruit was then placed to a static and open fermenter for period of fermentation with daily pump overs to ensure a moderate fermentation temperature and extraction of tannin. Once the desirable amount of flavour and tannin was evident the wine was pressed before being matured in seasoned French oak for a following 10 months before bottling.
