Ashbrook Estate, Cabernet Sauvignon, Wilyabrup, Margaret River, Australia 2018

Cabernet Sauvignon 85%, Petit Verdot 6.6%, Cabernet Franc 4.2%, Merlot 4.2%

This wine bursts with raspberry jelly crystal and sweet violet aromas. Ripe red berries, cherry plum fruit leather and hints of cassis saturate the palate with fine grained tannins creating a succulent, velvety mouth-feel. Subtle, leafy nuances typical of old vine Wilyabrup Cabernet and elegant French oak spice add layers of complexity creating a wine that evolves beautifully in the glass.

Grapes are hand-picked and fermented in stainless steel. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation prior to aging for 18 months in French oak barriques (20% new) followed by another 18 months in bottle before release.

Ashbrook Estate is one of the oldest established wineries in the Margaret River region located in the heart of Wilyabrup. Family owned and operated since 1975, all wines are handpicked and crafted from only estate-grown fruit
