Wine making notes

This SA126 clone Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from a gravelly loam soil vineyard from the Wallcliffe sub-region.  The fruit was crushed and destemmed then fermented in static fermenters at 26 degrees C for 5-7 days. A portion of approximately 30% was left for a period of extended maceration on skins followed by a gentle pressing adding plushness and a savoury textural element. The various batches underwent MLF in a combination of tank and barrel for 14 months maturation in a selection of French Oak barriques – 25% new.

Colour

Deep red with garnet hues.

Nose

Inky forest fruits, blackcurrants and plums are complimented by subtle mocha oak characters spiced with hints of nori and bay leaf.

Palate

A medium to full bodied Cabernet with plenty of depth offering blackberries, dark chocolate and cassis. The pristine fruit and fine tannins combine to produce a very complete wine, quintessential Margaret River Cabernet with an elegant structure and a wonderful persistence of fruit. A classy wine with cellar potential of 10+ years.

Dedication

Shoulder to shoulder we stand with pride, love and unity

Erik de Haart survived one of Australia’s worst tragedies - the 2002 Bali bombings.  The heartbreaking loss of his Coogee Dolphins team mates & the horrendous aftermath of the attack will never leave him. Whilst his courageous and selfless efforts on that terrible night saved many lives, Erik personally retreated from the hero tag that everyone else believed he deserved.  After many years of suffering in silence, Erik has displayed even more courage to bring attention to one of our society’s most insidious dangers – the mental anguish he suffers through the guilt of those he couldn’t save.  Erik’s powerful story will continue to assist other people in our community to seek assistance with their own problems.  Whilst we will never know the ever present emotional pain he endures, we stand shoulder to shoulder with Erik in pride, love & unity.
