Place: Calgardup Vineyard - Margaret River, WA
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Farming: Organic
Corymbia is the latest chapter in the story of one of the founding families of WA wine. The Manns have grown grapes and made wine in the area for over a century. This wine is the realisation of a dream seeded by Rob’s grandfather, Jack Mann—a departure from the orthodox to achieve a unique expression of Margaret River cabernet.
It was harvested on two picking dates in April, individually berry sorted prior to whole-berry fermentation in a single French oak vat. Maturation followed in four seasoned barriques for ten months. Incredibly impressive.
