Employing elements of appassimento—inspired by the wines of Valpolicella—this is a fascinating Cabernet, totally different to anything we know of on the market. It comes from two blocks in the Blind Corner Quindalup vineyard, where the soils are sand over pea gravel with a granite base. The fruit was fermented naturally with no acid additions or fining. Maturation occurred in mature oak. A portion of the ferment was first air-dried before fermentation (appassimento), a process intended to soften and lengthen the wine’s tannic frame while adding layers of flavour complexity.
