If our Great Western region were somehow prohibited from growing Shiraz, it would probably be just as famous for its Cabernets. Spicy, berry, leafy aromas and long, dense, yet supple flavours and classic structure are all hallmarks of Great Western Cabernet Sauvignon. With age, these wines develop remarkable finesse and elegance.
Cabernet Sauvignon from Great Western is even better when the fruit is grown at the right sites. Warm north-facing sites tend to produce the best fruit. As is common in other regions, Cabernet Sauvignon in Great Western is picked late in the vintage season to allow for good fruit flavour and texture. More time on the vine results in a supple wine with intense varietal characteristics.

"Pretty nose of dark plums, mulberries, violets and fresh blueberries. Medium-bodied and creamy, with powdery tannins and a youthful core of fresh fruit and flowers. Drink now or hold. Screw cap."

"The understated 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Great Western displays plush aromas of mulberry and blackberry with a faint edge of crushed leaves. It is midweight, with a fleshy core of blackberry and cedar flavor backed by a generous twist of tannins. Notable integrity and balance will see this wine drink well over the medium term."
