It evokes sounds too—an eagle calling as it soars through an ancient rocky canyon. Initially, this wine is full-throttle in flavor, with blackberry fruit in tangles on the palate, shaped by a cage of savory, spicy tannins and drawn out over a long lead in the finish. Once you give yourself fully to this wine, and I mean fully, its mineral rachis is revealed.

The start of the new year saw much needed dry and mild weather which facilitated ripening before early February saw some additional rainfall which slowed things and dialed up the potential for disease as the fruit started to accumulate sugar and flavour. Our vineyards had ideal canopies and crop loads coming into ripening from the work done during the growing season so faired brilliantly in these potentially challenging conditions. Dry, mild weather then followed which saw Cabernet Sauvignon, Franc and Merlot achieve full flavour with plush tannins and perfumed aromatics – all hallmarks of the 2021 vintage. A tropical rainfall event in mid-April was the line-in-the-sand for vintage to come to a close. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ewinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot parcels were all picked in April to make the most of the dry, mild ripening period following the February rain event.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll three varieties were harvested during the coolest part of the very early morning to achieve \u0026lt;10C fruit temperature so they could be cold soaked on skins for ~5 days prior to fermentation. The selectively harvested fruit was destemmed with any additional MOG (Material Other than Grapes) such as leaves being removed before the berries were transferred to small stainless steel static fermenters.  The Cabernet Sauvignon underwent partial wild fermentation before a select yeast culture was added at a low rate to finish fermentation which lasted 10 days. The Merlot and Cabernet Franc also underwent partial wild fermentation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vintage saw all three varieties pressed off skins just prior to dryness to achieve the desired structure and end blend style. The Franc and Merlot were matured separately in seasoned French oak puncheons (500L) with the Cabernet Sauvignon spending 12 months maturing in French oak hogsheads (300L) of which only ~10% were new (the balance 1-3yr French oak hogsheads).

The vine age dates back to the early 70s and the fruit pedigree can be seen throughout the wines structure. 75% of the fruit was destemmed with the remaining 25% left as whole clusters in the ferment. The ripe stems add further complexity to the wine’s aroma and tannin profile. Beyond fermentation the fruit was pressed and racked to a selection of small and large format French oak for 10 months. With only 10% new oak in the blend the vineyard can show its true characters and a clear snap shot of the vintage can be enjoyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eregion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMargaret River\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003evariety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShiraz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eanalysis\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol: 14.0%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epH: 3.51\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTA: 5.9 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[split]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChargrilled rump steak with pepper sauce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[split]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRay Jordan Wine Guide 2026\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy, my, my, this is good.
