Soils: This vineyard is on deep sandy soils that were once sand dunes, likely from Maslin Sands and Pirramimma Sandstone. The deep sand is over yellow clay, which allows vine roots to travel down deep looking for water. These soils are from the Holocene period (11,700 years old).

Winemaking: Small batch open fermentation for 8 days on skins. Maturation for 10 months in new and seasoned French oak hogsheads.

Nose: Bright, vibrant varietal Cabernet notes of cassis and cedar.

Palate: Palate density and deep, layered flavours are a hallmark of this wine. Fine, sophisticated tannins give outstanding length.  This wine is a beautiful example of balance between power and elegance in a premium Blewitt Springs Cabernet.

Cellaring: Drink now to 2032
