Wine Summary Image

WINEMAKING

Fruit harvested at optimal ripeness, destemmed and crushed to fermenters. Inoculated with select cultured yeast strain, ferments were gently pumped over twice daily with selected parcels undergoing extended maceration. Maturation occurs in a combination of French oak barriques and stainless steel tank for 22 months prior to blending, filtration and bottling.

VINTAGE 2019

Typical cool climate conditions prevailed throughout veraison with steady even temperatures, no significant spikes or drops in temperature with bright and clear days. Cool clear nights and crisp dewy mornings maintained acid levels and enhanced the fruit aromatic. The wines show good intensity of flavour with good levels of acidity balancing the punchy fruit flavours across the spectrum. A long cool ripening period with little weather pressure has crafted a good vintage

across the varietals.

Expert Reviews

"It's beautifully composed and fragrant, showing blackcurrant, blueberry, olive and cedar characters on the nose, followed by a flavoursome palate that's both generous and structured, making it gorgeously appealing. At its best: now to 2028." - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit April 2021. 93 points

Winery Profile

Plantagenet takes its name not only from its home, but also from its heritage. In 1968 in a stroke of serendipity English migrant Tony Smith, himself a descendent of the Plantagenet's, invested his small inheritance in a farm called Bouverie in Western Australia’s Plantagenet Shire.

He first planted Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon followed by Riesling three years later.

The first wines from these young vines were tight and lean and showed the elegant spice and fruit characters for which this area was to become known.
