About the wine
Elegant, cool climate, WA drop
- A premium Cabernet from Western Australia should be in every wine-lover’s collection! This fantastic wine comes from a site close to Rocky Gully, which is in between Frankland River and Mount Barker.
- The 2022 season was a little cooler than usual which resulted in a long, slow ripening period and a classic, cool climate Great Southern style. The winemaking skill of The Companions team is evident, with no hint of bitterness and a perfect 12 month ageing process in both French and American oak.
- It’s an elegant drop, and the winemaking process has allowed the fruit flavours to shine. There are some more delicate floral notes to enjoy too, and happily, it’s ready to drink now. It’s a slightly lighter wine that is easy to sip and sure to impress!
Best before
I think this is a very drink now style as its slightly lighter on its feet and elegant. It will still age well for 3 - 5 years, however its soft and fruit forward and built for immediate consumption.
