Voyager are all about hard work in the vineyard rather than improving the quality of harvest through clever winemaking. Traditional techniques are essential to crafting great wines but the basic principles most common to the world's most memorable vintages are all about what goes on in the vineyard. The highest standards of husbandry and a minimal intervention remain cardinal. A wonderfully aromatic wine, redolent of violets and cassis, the fragrant ripeness of dark bramble berries. High quality French oak for definition and soft tannin structure. The artful articulation of Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon.

A vibrant west coast wine of elegance and engaging complexity, offering exquisite balance and a measure of regional charm.

$2299each $275DOZEN EACH DOZEN Voyager Estate's philosophy is simply to make the best wines possible. Traditional vinification techniques as well as the latest technologies are employed. Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc are harvested throughout the chill of night, each parcel is destemmed and pressed to fermenters for settling and clarification, each batch is racked and innoculated with a mix of X5, QA23 and UOA Maxithiol yeast cultures for two to three weeks of vinification. A part of the Semillon is treated to ferments in new tightly grain French oak barriques, followed by a course of maturation and lees stirring battonage for two months. Upon completion, components are assembled, stabilised and filtered for bottling.

$3499each $419DOZEN EACH DOZEN Voyager's seven Shiraz blocks comprise five different clones, planted to some of the toughest, shallow, gravelly soils which reduce the inherent vigour of this variety. With the cooling sea breezes off the Indian Ocean and intensive viticultural management, including crop thinning and green thinning, the vines are sensitively managed to produce Shiraz grapes with impressive fruit characters. Small batch fermentation and gentle winemaking techniques are employed to ensure the fruit aromatics are respected, that the fine tannins are preserved and intense colour is extracted from the grapes. The final wine is treated to a year's maturation in a selection of French and American oak barrels.
