Region: Australia - Western Australia - Great Southern
Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon
Alcohol: 14%
Notes on the Wine:
This is a cool-climate Cabernet from the far south of Western Australia. The nose is open and expressive, an enticing mix of licorice, currants, baking spices, dried mint and chocolate with mineral undertones and, as it warms in glass, a toffee oak note. Solidly medium bodied, the mouthfeel is silky with a classic combo of power and restraint. Taut, chalky tannins girdle pristine fruit and spice.
Notes on the Producer:
Forest Hill Vineyard is not only the oldest cool climate Vineyard in Western Australia, but also planted on one of the Mt Barker regions first farms. Settled in the 1840’s, Highbury Fields is a site of historical agricultural significance in the Great Southern, which over the past century has been farmed for apples, dairy, grains, lamb and wool.Purchased over 15 years ago, the Highbury Fields property is today producing exceptional fruit with the dry-grown vineyards occupying the best soils on this historic property
