Grown by the sea in the Yallingup sub-region of Margaret River by Liv Maiorana and Mij Patterson of South by South West, who were excited about such premium fruit and started making this blend to give it a label to go under. Very low-yielding vines – just two or three bunches on each – produce pristine, concentrated but fresh fruit. This is an almost 50/50 blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot, co-fermented, essentially making it a field blend. The nose is perfumed and elegant, with a small percentage of well-managed carbonic maceration giving a welcome primary red-fruit note. The palate is medium-bodied and pretty, with flavours of plums, cherries, blackcurrants and wild rosemary, accompanied by blueberry, chocolate and a delicious touch of salinity, doubtless from the ocean-side vineyard. A delightfully silky Margaret River red, which can be drunk cellar cool and with or without food.

Bright crimson. Cassis and currant and lots of fruit. No doubt about where this comes from! Mineral finish and artisan style with the Merlot playing very much a minor role. Dry end. For the cellar?
