This classic Margaret River Cabernet hails from two of Voyager Estate’s most impressive Cabernet Sauvignon blocks. Both blocks lie on gravelly soils and are farmed organically. North Block 12 is planted to the Houghton clone, and Weightmans Block 5 is home to 125 clone. Houghton gives fruit on the darker end of the spectrum, while 125 is prized for its lighter fruit profile, perfume and delicate structure. It’s a delicious combination.
This 2021 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (86%) and Merlot (14%). Each parcel was picked towards the end of March and fermented separately in a combination of open vats and concrete fermenters with daily pumpovers. 2021’s warm conditions gave fruit of deep power and concentration, something the Voyager team worked hard to balance with an astute tannin profile. After fermentation, the wine was pressed to French oak for 14 months’ maturation followed by a final three months resting in concrete before bottling.
