Vintage Conditions

The 2023 vintage in Margaret River delivered excellent conditions for Cabernet varieties, with an extended ripening period that allowed fruit to develop flavour intensity while retaining freshness and natural acidity. The season produced wines with vibrant fruit expression, refined tannins and excellent balance.

Winemaking Techniques

The 2023 Cabernets is a certified organic, single-estate blend that brings together Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Fruit from selected vineyard blocks was vinified separately before blending, allowing each variety to contribute its own character and complexity. The winemaking approach focuses on preserving vineyard expression, freshness and elegance while building structure and depth.
