Winemaking
Our Estate grown Eightfold Cabernet grapes were sourced predominantly from our Wills Domain and Yallingup Estate vineyards. Picked in the cool of the morning, gently destemmed and inoculated with a cultured yeast strain and fermented at 24oC-28oC. At dryness the wine was pressed off skins and matured in French oak for nine months in 20% new, 15% one-year-old, and 17% two-year-old barrels, before being bottled in February 2023.
Food Pairing
Herb-crusted rack of lamb with roasted vegetables.
