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 WinePilot, Cassandra Charlick "..still shy but oh so stunning. Fragrant and heady, a spiced woody note frames the fruit with incense of frankincense and myrrh. This pure Cabernet has lashings of blackcurrant, ribbon-like tannins and oodles of fruit on a bed of oak...A wine of it's place with so much going on in it's youth and much more to come as it matures."

GROWING SEASON
The 2021 to 2022 growing season in Margaret River was one of the highlights in my 33 years of winemaking. Gentle and sustained sunny days provided fruit characterized by intense aromatics, coating natural acidity, and ultra-fine tannin and tension.
