2019 Museum Cabernet Blend

The wine exhibits ripe blackcurrant fruit with earthy graphite mineral overtones, cradled by exceptionally fine tannins and integrated French oak. A distinct mineral complexity is derived from the rocky granitic soils of the Leeuwin Ridge.

Vintage 2019 was three weeks later than average, with cool weather from budburst to flowering which continued over the ripening season. Harvest rain, high humidity and intense native bird pressure led to intensive vine canopy management throughout the region.

The cabernet sauvignon, petit verdot and cabernet franc blocks were select harvested on 17 April and blended at the crusher to a red fermenter. The malbec had fermented separately 3 weeks earlier.
