The Coveted Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
This is a stylish wine with a lovely texture and presence. The palate is concentrated with sweet fruit in the mid-palate finishing with some characteristic Margaret River Cabernet tannins, which are soft, powerful, and lingering.

Winemaking
Our Estate grown 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
Greek-style barbequed lamb steaks with tzatziki sauce.
