Rosabrook Margaret River Single Vineyard Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

WINEMAKER’S NOTE: Deeply coloured, with the classic unmistakable Margaret River bouquet of briar Cabernet with a rich and structured palate.

VINTAGE CONDITIONS:  The 2018 growing season was characterised by above average winter rains followed by a dry spring free of high winds that led to good flowering and fruit set. Slightly cool and dry conditions prevailed into summer leading to long and consistent ripening. These were ideal conditions for our reds with a fine Indian summer that help develop excellent colours and fine tannin structures in the final wine.

VINEYARDS: Located in north of the Margaret River region our low yielding vineyard was planted almost 25 years ago to a lyre trellis, obligating hand picking.

VINIFICATION: Hand-picked grapes were fermented in open containers and plunged daily. On dryness the wine was run to new barrels. Racked several times, it was finally bottled after nine months in oak and laid down for further maturation until release.
