Brooding red fruit | Engaging tannins

Rebus Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine crafted to stay true to its heritage as an icon of the Margaret River region. Our first release was in 2012. Since then, Rebus has made friends with people and proteins across Australia.

An intricate tapestry of glazed cherries, violets and graphite, deftly woven into a palate laden with flavours of red currants, cacao nib and plum skin. Bristling tannin on the entry and a tensile core of liquorish, black berries and slate, culminates in a persistent and ever-changing mineral finish.

AWARDS

95pts Wine Companion "Such a consistently excellent wine in terms of quality and price. Opens with mulberries and cassis, all rich and ripe with a dusting of baking spices, dark chocolate, some freshly roasted coffee beans and cedary oak too. It's concentrated, yet the full-bodied palate is supple and smooth, with finely tuned textural tannins."

GROWING SEASON

Lower than average soil moisture and higher than average temparatures through late spring and early summer allowed for smaller berries with better spacing on the bunch. This set the stage for a concentrated and intensely flavoured crop.
