Sourced from the sheltered Wallcliffe Vineyard, planted from 1970 to 1973, this wine is crafted using traditional Bordeaux methods with an Australian influence. Following a gentle basket pressing, each batch undergoes maturation in new (50–60%) and one-year-old French oak for a duration ranging from 18 to 24 months.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDark rich powerful palate with a fine elegant structure still showing great fresh vibrancy of fruit. The long finish has fine chewy powdery tannins.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCritic tasting note: \"Silky and plush, this textural harmony is one of the characters that define Margaret River Cabernets. Ample cassis and plum notes are sweet and pick up savory nuances, while subtle hints of tomato leaf and red bell pepper add complexity without being distractingly vegetal.
