Winemaker notes Colour: Deep crimson Bouquet: Brooding blackberry, mulberry, dark chocolate and cedar aromas typify the aromatic profile of this reserve style. Palate: The palate is rich and powerful showing generous redcurrant, mulberry and dark chocolate flavours. A soft and supple backbone of tannin gives this Cabernet a long and precise evolution through the palate. Viticulture Grown on the Wildberry Estate vineyard this parcel of fruit enjoys one of the more sought-after addresses for Cabernet Sauvignon not only in Australia but also in a global sense. Wilyabrup has rapidly gained a global reputation as one of the best places to grow Cabernet in the world and the Wildberry Vineyard with its free draining gravelly soils and north facing aspect deliver a unique viticultural environment in which to grow premium Cabernet Sauvignon. Winemaking Carefully selected fruit is delivered to the winery where it was crushed and destemmed to a static fermenter. Selected yeast is added and a controlled fermentation was conducted over a 18 day period. During fermentation the wine is pumped over the skins twice a day to facilitate colour and tannin extraction. A period of post fermentation maceration on-skins has been employed for this batch to further ameliorate and soften the tannin profile of this wine. Following fermentation the wine is matured in approximately 25% new and a selection of one and two year old French oak barriques. Following maturation the wine is assembled before a gentle filtration prior to bottling.

Medium red with a purple hue in the glass, Jim Barry The Forger Shiraz opens with a brooding array of purple fruits with a hint of violet lift then countered with notes of cinnamon and sweet oak char. The palate is packed with the rich brambly fruit which follows on from the nose. Fine, chalky tannins give the wine a plush, velvety texture that fills the length of the palate. The Forger has a rich, lingering, persistent finish and is ideal for cellaring.

Light to medium red colour, with fresh cherry fruit flavours. Try serving chilled in warmer weather.

Made from a blend of Frankland WA grown Shiraz and handpicked bushvine Tempranillo. Each wine was allowed to ferment naturally on skins using only the wild yeast then they were basket pressed and blended. The Shiraz provides body and complexity to the tannin component of the lighter Tempranillo. The result is a fruit driven, unoaked red with berry and spice elements, great texture, and a bright acidity.
