VOYAGER ESTATE CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2023 - red

Style: Savoury & DetailedVoyager Estate is located on Stevens Road in the Boodjidup Valley, which is emerging as hallowed ground (Leeuwin, the western neighbour, Xanadu's Stevens Road vineyard and the vineyards of Voyager Estate complete the trinity of prestige in this neck of the woods). The estate was established in 1978 by viticulturist Peter Gherardi, and, later purchased and expanded by Michael Wright in ’91. Michael’s daughter, Alexandra Burt, has been at the helm since 2005. The vineyard and winery are undergoing transition to certified organic status (due for completion in 2023) and there is extensive clonal and varietal experimentation in the estate vineyards. ERIN LARKIN, James HallidayThe backbone of this wine comes from three of Voyager’s most impressive Cabernet blocks, all of which lie on gravelly soils and are farmed organically. Two clones make up the mix: the Houghton clone gives fruit on the darker end of the spectrum, while 125 is prized for its lighter fruit profile, perfume and delicate structure. Merlot brings a plush mid-palate, while the remaining varieties bolster structure, perfume and depth. It’s a delicious combination. BIBENDUM“Bright red and youthful in the glass. Lifted aromas of blackberry, dark cherry, Asian spice, dried herbs, bramble and violets. Bright, mouth-filling, firm and layered. Full of plush dark fruits, grippy, grainy tannin and perky acidity. This has real life, spark and purity and will cellar for many years to come.” AARON BRASHER, The Real ReviewRegion: Margaret River, WESTERN AUSTRALIA Variety : Cabernet blend ABV: 13.5% Liquor Act 2007.
