Margaret River is a miraculous region where both Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon can reach great heights. However, in 2023, the cool, long and particularly dry growing season was especially kind to the local Cabernet Sauvignon, creating the best vintage in recent memory. These wines display superb purity, effortless balance, unforced generosity of flavour and firm structure. The best of them will also age beautifully. Two thousand twenty-three is a genuine unicorn vintage for Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon.
