TASTING NOTE: "Rob and Genevieve Mann are all about expressing their place at Calgardup, and it’s exciting to witness. This is the fifth release off their vineyard, and it entices with heady aromatics of violets and raspberry leaf alongside an array of flavours from cassis, redcurrants and mulberries to nori, Dutch licorice and baking spices. Lots of umami, too, and an ironstone character pops up across the fuller-bodied palate. Precise, almost velvety tannins in unison with lively acidity. Oh, and no new oak used. It’s a refreshing take, with plenty of fruit tannins to ensure this has depth and ageability." 95 Points - Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion
“It's is aromatic and leafy and layered with cassis, flaked milk chocolate, cracked peppercorns, nori sheets and mulberry. This has everything aromatically, but it is in the mouth where the tannins steal the show. This is elegant, finely milled, soft in its way—pliable and ductile, not "soft"—and so long through the finish. It's a remarkable wine, made all the more remarkable by its élevage in a large-format old oak vat (1,600 liters), which allows the fruit and the natural tannins to really shine. It is 100% berry sorted and fermented and aged in old oak. This is the lowest pH Cabernet made from this Corymbia vineyard in Calgardup in Margaret River, and it is also the greatest. It is a statement and a pleasure. My emphatic advice is to find it if you can.” 98 Points - Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate
- ABOUT THE WINE: "The fifth release of Corymbia Cabernet Sauvignon, from our Margaret River Calgardup Vineyard. The vineyard is positioned towards the southern end of Margaret River, just 2km inland from Redgate Beach. It sits surrounded by native bush and the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park. After 15 years of searching, we are now the custodians of this land. Calgardup Vineyard sits atop an ancient granite outcrop, weathered over 1.2 billion years of time, to reveal a Keenan gravel loam that is perfectly suited to growing Cabernet Sauvignon. The purity, delineate fruit characters and graphite framework are the hallmarks of this site. Variety, place and experience woven together to redefine what’s possible." Corymbia
