Grape Varietals & Region: Cabernet Sauvignon. The fruit comes from Mount Barker in Western Australia, with the Cabernet coming from old vines of Blocks 5, 6 & 7 in Forest Hill Vineyard, and some from the younger vines at Block 11. The soils are predominantly gravel & loams over clay
Taste Profile: Deep purple in colour. Aromas of red plums, dark chocolate, blackberry, and olives. There are some dried lavender and herb characters interwoven too. The palate is medium bodied but dense but with fine tannin profile and juicy primary fruit.
Winemaking Process: The fruit was picked over several small picks, some by hand and some by our selective harvester. Then de-stemmed, chilled into mostly open fermenters, retaining a high percentage of whole berry initially. Cold soak and then inoculated. The fermenters were pumped over with aeration or plunged by hand; temperature allowed to rise with peak around 25-26 degrees. The wine was then pressed to French barrels (20% new) and a 3000L Foudre. The wine was blended and bottled after 12 months maturation.
Powerful modern reds with the ability to age. They tend to be very intense, with ripe fruit, firm tannins & drinkability either young or cellared.
They often have notes of forest floor, blackcurrant, mint & eucalyptus

Founded in 2019, we were bored with the typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Amarone & Moscato offerings at most bars & restaurants, and were inspired to dive deeper into the wine world!
