2019 Corymbia Cabernet Sauvignon

Our second release of Corymbia Cabernet Sauvignon from our dry-grown, organically farmed Calgardup vineyard. Located just 2km inland from the famous Redgate Beach in Margaret River, we have continued to revitalise this vineyard with acute attention to detail. The fruit was harvested on two picking dates in April; individually berry sorted prior to natural, whole-berry fermentation in a single French oak vat. Maturation followed in four seasoned barriques for 10 months.

FACTS
100% Cabernet Sauvignon (126 clone planted in 2002) from the Calgardup vineyard in Redgate, Margaret River. Planting density is 1785 vines per hectare on Keenan gravelly loam. The fruit was picked on 8th and 18th April 2019. Alcohol 13.3%; pH 3.61; total acidity 5.32 g/L. Bottled 7th February 2020.

WINE
We have made a wine that tastes as fresh and vibrant as the pristine coastal location of its origin. It tastes of the grape, the dirt and the sea without pretention and exudes all the characters of Margaret River Cabernet that the world admires. Perfumed and aromatic with violets, deep redcurrants, and coastal herbs complement a palate that is intense, vibrant and medium bodied with nori and satsuma plums framed by the vineyard’s typical graphite-like structure.  Rob & Gen Mann
