Ashbrook Estate Cabernet Sauvignon | Margaret River
Bursting with raspberry jelly 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.
About Ashbrook Estate
3rd generation winery, established by the Devitt family in 1975. Only grapes handpicked and grown on the Estate are used and all processing, winemaking, bottling and packaging are closely controlled using the Estate’s own state of the art facilities. Extensive use of the sophisticated “lyre” trellising system in the vineyard maximizes flavor potential.
Production note
Berries are cold soaked, inoculated and gently plunged every three hours in temperature-controlled, open, stainless steel fermenters. After desired extraction the wine is racked off skins and completes MLF in tank prior to ageing in 100% premium French oak barriques (20% new) for a minimum of 18 months. After blending, filtration and bottling the wine further matures in our underground, climate-controlled cellar for 18 months before release.
