Ringbolt Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
(Margaret River, Western Australia) - [JS 93] [WE 91]

Notes From the Winemaker:
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.

 The grapes for this wine are grown on a small selection of sites, most being around the Margaret River’s flagship Wilyabrup sub-region, close to the Indian Ocean. The soil types, either sandy or laterite gravel soils, both restrict vine yields. There are a range of aspects and soil types through our vineyard sites, and these variances and selective blending provide Ringbolt with much of its complexity.


Tasting Notes:
A bold crimson red in color with magenta hues. The nose has rich aromas of violets, black
cherries and mulberries with hints of cassis and forest-floor characters. The wine opens with the pretty floral characters of the nose and a rich blackberry edge before progressing to the mocha oak mid palate and finishing with succulent tannins that continue the experience long after the wine has left your mouth.

Technical Information

2019 Vintage:
The growing season started slowly after a wetter than normal winter that extended
through spring and into summer with accompanying cool conditions. This long, even ripening period was perfect for the development of fine and complex flavors in the grapes. The result is a delicious and very classic Cabernet Sauvignon from Margaret River.
