WINEMAKING

 
Cabernet and merlot parcels were selected for fleshiness and depth of fruit intensity. The cabernet and merlot juices were then fermented separately, before undergoing further maturation in oak barrel. Blending commenced in the following spring, with a final blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon to 35% Merlot, matured for a further 12 months in oak barrel prior to bottling.

TASTING NOTE

This Cabernet Merlot is a typical Margaret River blend exhibiting deep blackcurrant, mulberry, plums, and violet, carrying through sweet cedary oak. There are fine soft tannins with sweet dark fruits, cinnamon spice and rich chocolate highlighting the palate. 

FOOD

Enjoy with roast lamb, game, Italian pasta dishes.
