Rory Parks is the head winemaker at Moss Brothers, and after 20 years amongst the soil, the vines and the barrels, comes with a wealth of hands-on winemaking experience and a great passion for the art of winemaking. Based in Margaret River, which is embraced by the ocean on three sides resulting maritime influence lends itself to ideal growing conditions.
The Cabernet Sauvignon was machine harvested then destemmed/crushed into a static fermenter where it was fermented using yeast selected to express desirable varietal flavours and aromas. The fermenters were pumped over twice a day. Temperature was held between 24-26°C for a slow extraction of tannins and increased development of fermentation complexity. Maceration was not extended to prevent over extraction of tannin. The wine was pressed and transferred for malolactic fermentation on oak allowing a soft integration of the grape and oak tannins. The wine was blended and bottled after 15 months maturation.
A generous and flavorsome palate with concentrated dark fruits, blackcurrant and plum. Hints of dusty oak and a fine tannin structure lead to a long, savoury finish.
This wine is perfectly paired with Spice roasted lamb leg with beetroot sauce.
