The fruit for this wine was sourced from
Cape Mentelle’s Estate, Foxcliffe and Kyella
vineyards in Margaret River. The soils are
predominantly deep sandy loams with high
lateritic gravel content over clay. Shoot
and leaf removal techniques were used to
ensure a balance between fruit exposure to
light whilst providing protection from the
midday sun.The 2010 harvest in Margaret River
continues a run of excellent vintages, again
marked by a very dry and mild summer.
The only signifi cant rainfall for the vintage
period was not until mid-April ensuring an
excellent ripening period with fruit retaining
pristine varietal fl avours, great concentration
and intensity

Deep dark brambly fruits of blueberries and
