Wine Description
Deep crimson in colour. Classic Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon with aromas of berry fruits, briar and sea spray followed by notes of chocolate. The medium to full-bodied palate has defined tannins with displays of cherry and plum. The wine is elegant and well-structured showing great length of flavour. As treacherous as it is beautiful, Western Australia’s rugged southwest coastline is littered with shipwrecks – the wreck of the Ringbolt being one of them. Sunk in the late 1800s in what is now known as Ringbolt Bay, located on the southern tip of the Margaret River wine region, adjacent to Cape Leeuwin. It is at Ringbolt Bay where the Southern and Indian Oceans merge and their invigorating waters lap at the edge of the Margaret River wine region.
