THE BORING STUFF
Region: Great Southern, Western Australia
Sub-region: 100% Mount Barker
Variety: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Machine harvested fruit is picked and cold-soaked for two days in a stainless-steel fermenter before being inoculated for ferment. Gentle pump-overs occur twice a day during the ferment to extract colour and flavour along with controlling the ferment. Post-fermentation the wine spends 3 weeks on skins to promote the fine-grained tannin structure of the wine. 90% of the wine is racked to older neutral oak with the final 10% going to two-year-old French Oak hogsheads for a period of 18 months.
Alcohol: 14.5%

- It's beautifully expressed on the nose showing cassis, floral, mixed spice and almond characters with a hint of dried herb complexity, leading to a supple palate that's medium-full and fleshy. Well structured by fine chalky tannins, finishing lingering and attractively dry. At its best: now to 2030.
