The nose takes a little time to open, but patience is rewarded — fresh mulberries and blackberry compote interweave with cherry, violet and layers of red plum and cranberry, all lifted and vibrating with energy, with a touch of sweetness in the form of toffee apple woven through tight-grain oak. The power of the vintage really shows through on the palate: dense, driven and beautifully layered, with an array of dark fruits, cocoa bean, orange zest, star anise and a hint of black pepper. Serious structure and tannin sit just beneath the surface, finished with bright, energetic acidity. This is a wine that's asking to be cellared, and one that will truly reward the wait.

Commuting from Perth while raising a family became too much and for some years the grapes from Woodlands were sold to other Margaret River producers. With the advent of sons Stuart and Andrew in ’02–05 (Stuart primarily responsible for winemaking), the estate bounced back to pre-eminence, expanding with the purchase of the 17ha Woodlands Brook Vineyard in ’07. The top-end wines primarily come from the original Woodlands Vineyard, where the now-certified organic vines are 50+yr\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThis wine was harvested between 25th of March and the 9th of April, yielding 6.21 tonnes per hectare. After being picked, the fruit was destemmed before passing over our vibrating sorting table. Once sorted and crushed, this wine was fermented in small closed fermenters. Following fermentation, the Cabernet Sauvignon must remained on skins for 28 days before being pressed for the secondary malolactic fermentation to occur. Afterwards, the wine was transferred into new French medium toast barrels to mature for 19 months. This wine is a blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec and 2% Cabernet Franc.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe colour is intense deep crimson. The nose is expressive and powerful, showing primary Cabernet characters of blackcurrant, mulberry and dark cherry combined with tight grained French oak. On opening the palate is dense, but shows great balance and finesse. There is a lovely softness and suppleness to the palate that overlays a powerful core of old vine Cabernet fruit. Hints of vanilla, mint and bay leaf emerge and combine with the primary fruit flavours as the wine opens up over the first hour. Given enough air and time, the tannins soften and the wine opens up to reveal more nuance, but still at this stage maintaining its youthful power. All 2014’s from Woodlands show the generosity of the vintage, and our Cabernet Sauvignon shows it most of all. This wine takes you straight to the Woodlands cellar, where you can smell the barrels being racked and washed, and the must being pressed – this wine still maintains the primacy it had straight off the press.\r\n\r\n ","brand":"Artisan Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966801932357,"sku":"WES14CSMAT","price":250.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/8644\/4357\/files\/b9a84a0d-matthew.jpg?v=1777951259"},{"product_id":"forrest-beach-estate-shiraz-cabernet-2017","title":"Forrest Beach Estate Shiraz Cabernet 2017","description":"Forrest Beach Estate Shiraz Cabernet 2017 is a bold, structured red blend from Margaret River, Western Australia, combining Shiraz's dark fruit richness with Cabernet Sauvignon's firm tannins\r\n\r\nShiraz \u0026amp; Cabernet, is not only the classic Australian red wine blend, but it is uniquely Australian in that it doesn’t defer to the Old World, or to anyone.","brand":"Artisan Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966804357189,"sku":"FB17SC","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/8644\/4357\/files\/217153bf-forrest_beach_shiraz_caberent.jpg?v=1777951259"},{"product_id":"woodlands-cabernet-sauvignon-merlot-malbec-petit-verdot-clementine-2019","title":"Woodlands Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Malbec Petit Verdot 'Clémentine' 2020","description":"Founders David Watson and wife Heather had spectacular success with the cabernets he made in ’79 and the early ’80s.

Founded in 1999 by Dr. Brian Freeman, a former head of wine science at Charles Sturt University. Brian transitioned from academia to winemaking, bringing deep viticultural expertise to the Hilltops region. Situated in Prunevale, Hilltops, at 560 metres above sea level, the vineyard benefits from cool nights and sunny days during ripening, deep granite soils mixed with red silt, sand from central Australia and well-drained terrain, ideal for growing high-quality grapes.\r\n\r\nFreeman Vineyards is Australia’s only producer of the northern Italian grape varieties Rondinella and Corvina, used in their flagship Secco. Other Italian varietals include Nebbiolo, Sangiovese, Aleatico, Prosecco, Fiano, Pinot Grigio, and an obscure varietal for Australia, Furmint. Their priority is well crafted wines with a focus on textural complexity, balance, and food-friendliness.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nOne variety that is synonymous with the cool Hilltops terroir is cabernet sauvignon – the classic Australian variety that thrives in a continental climate where warm days and cool nights are integral to cultivating balance and complexity. The Altura Vineyard encompasses a block of mature 40-year-old cabernet vines. Selected bunches are handpicked with a yield of four tonnes per hectare.\r\n\r\nThe 2022 season was marked by a cool spring and summer with unseasonal rainfall but thankfully autumn was sunny and dry and the grapes ripened slowly and evenly, ideal for the final development of the fully ripe bunches. The grapes were harvested in early April with good acidity and balance.","brand":"Artisan Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966806650949,"sku":"FRE22CS","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/8644\/4357\/files\/07beee4e-freeman_cabernet_sauvignon.jpg?v=1777951263"},{"product_id":"watson-family-wines-cabernet-merlot-2018","title":"Watson Family Wines Cabernet Merlot 2016","description":"After harvesting, this wine was destemmed and crushed before being ‘cold soaked’ on skins for up to five days prior to fermentation.

After being picked, the fruit was destemmed before passing over our vibrating sorting table. Once sorted and crushed, this wine was fermented in small closed fermenters. Following fermentation, the Cabernet Sauvignon must remained on skins for 28 days before being pressed for the secondary malolactic fermentation to occur. Afterwards, the wine was transferred into new French medium toast barrels to mature for 19 months. This wine is a blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec and 2% Cabernet Franc.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe colour is intense deep crimson. The nose is expressive and powerful, showing primary Cabernet characters of blackcurrant, mulberry and dark cherry combined with tight grained French oak. On opening the palate is dense, but shows great balance and finesse. There is a lovely softness and suppleness to the palate that overlays a powerful core of old vine Cabernet fruit. Hints of vanilla, mint and bay leaf emerge and combine with the primary fruit flavours as the wine opens up over the first hour. Given enough air and time, the tannins soften and the wine opens up to reveal more nuance, but still at this stage maintaining its youthful power. All 2014’s from Woodlands show the generosity of the vintage, and our Cabernet Sauvignon shows it most of all. This wine takes you straight to the Woodlands cellar, where you can smell the barrels being racked and washed, and the must being pressed – this wine still maintains the primacy it had straight off the press.\r\n\r\n ","brand":"Artisan Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45669732974661,"sku":"WES14CSMATMAG","price":499.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/8644\/4357\/files\/b9a84a0d-matthew.jpg?v=1777951259"},{"product_id":"woodlands-cabernet-sauvignon-merlot-malbec-petit-verdot-clementine-2021","title":"Woodlands Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Malbec Petit Verdot 'Clémentine' 2021","description":"Founders David Watson and wife Heather had spectacular success with the cabernets he made in ’79 and the early ’80s.
