- 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
- Granite subsoils with red clay loam and granite/quartz gravels on vines dating back to the 1970’s
- Warm north-facing sites tend to produce the best fruit. As is common in other regions, Cabernet Sauvignon in Great Western is picked late in the vintage season to allow for good fruit flavor and texture. More time on the vine results in a supple wine with intense varietal characteristics.
- A wetter growing season with balanced healthy yields meant the vines ripened slowly and evenly. Sufficient water supply ensured the grapevines remained in good health which ensured all the natural acidity was retained at harvest.
- Old oak for 12 months.

"Pretty nose of dark plums, mulberries, violets and fresh blueberries. Medium-bodied and creamy, with powdery tannins and a youthful core of fresh fruit and flowers. Drink now or hold. Screw cap."

"The understated 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Great Western displays plush aromas of mulberry and blackberry with a faint edge of crushed leaves. It is midweight, with a fleshy core of blackberry and cedar flavor backed by a generous twist of tannins. Notable integrity and balance will see this wine drink well over the medium term."
