The Flying Winemaker Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 (12 x 750mL) Margaret River

Description:

The 2019 vintage was outstanding for Cabernet Sauvignon; with consistent weather patterns throughout the early parts of the growing season and generous rainfalls in winter, we have produced a regionally reflective Cabernet Sauvignon. Margaret River, well regarded for its Mediterranean climate, provides consistently warm, dry days and a breezy snap of cool air which was brought about by the icy Indian Ocean. This weather system means we are able to produce Cabernet Sauvignon with amazing colour and outstanding tannins. Our particular Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested from 2 specific vineyards both of which were harvested in early April.

Our grapes were harvested by machine, then brought to the winery for immediate processing. The grapes are crushed and destemmed, then immediately inoculated with cultured yeast to encourage the start of alcoholic fermentation. The must is fermented in a large stainless-steel vessel, which is regularly pumped over two to three times daily to ensure that we are extracting the best of colour, flavour and tannins. This continues for up to 2 and a half weeks. Once the alcohol has been successfully produced we then transfer this must into a press whereby we further extract more flavour, colour and tannin. Once the pressing has completed, the clean wine is transferred back into vessels for further maturation and malolactic fermentation. The wine is matured in French Oak and for up to 12 months. At the end of maturation, it is racked and filtered prior to bottling.

The result from this particular vintage is that we have produced a wine that is full-bodied, intense and highly reflective of an immaculate vintage of Margaret River.

Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

A plush and invigorating nose that is very reminiscent of a classic Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon. The allure of eucalyptus is ever-present and inviting coupled with dark blackberries, plum, violet florals and liquorice, making the aroma very inviting and seductive whilst showing great intensity. The palate has a pronounced yet honest intensity with clean, fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins. Beautifully balanced and structured with good fruit persistence that is bright and cheerful and carries some depth to linger and offer a wonderful array of complex, yet elegant contrasts between fruit, balance, structure and finesse.
