A beautiful ‘left bank’ Bordeaux blend from the gravelly loam of Woodlands home vineyard in Wilyabrup Margaret River. The 2021 'Margaret' is sophisticated and multi-layered, a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 10% Malbec.
The fruit was hand-picked mid March through into April, destemmed and hand-sorted, then transferred to stainless steel fermenters. The must spent 24 days on skins, and after pressing the wine matured in French barrels for 18 months, of which 44% were new.
This colour is an intense ruby hue. The nose is shy at first, but as it opens up layers of red fruits emerge- red plums and cranberries - integrated with tight-grain oak.
The brightness of this cooler vintage is evident immediately on the nose. Lifted dark fruit with a little black olive and bay leaf infusion burst out. It is an elegantly framed wine of effortless style.
The power of the vintage really shows on the palate. All density and drive, rich ripe fruits are there - but with so much structure and tannin just beneath, it's asking to be cellared.
