Evans & Tate played a major role in the Margaret River's rise to international recognition as one of the world's great winegrowing appellations. One of Western Australia's baronial estates, their salubrious vineyards are idyllically positioned to produce vibrant Shiraz grapes with attractive blackberry, plum and spice characters. Margaret River's renowned cool summer nights and sea breezes ensure that the fruit ripens fully at lower baumes to perfect levels of natural acidity, translating into a crisp and savoury, mouthfilling Shiraz wine.

Fashioned for style, elegance and complexity, Redbrook is an ultimate expression of the vintage and of exceptional Margaret River fruit grown to vineyards which have consistently delivered the highest quality grapes.

$7499each $899DOZEN EACH DOZEN Vines are treated to shoot thinning and bunch removal to achieve perfect balance and even ripening. Parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon are harvested at night and separately cold soaked for several days on skins in small fermenters to maximise colour intensity and bright, fresh fruit characters. Ten days of vinification and a further seventeen of maceration are followed by pressing into a combination of seasoned and new French oak hogsheads and barriques for completion of malolactic. After twelve to fifteen months maturation, components are assembled into the finished wine and bottled unfined for a term of bottle age before release.

Deep purple black with vibrant purple rim. Cool Cabernet characters of redcurrant and tobacco leaf overlay riper characters of cassis, green olive and blood plum. A medium bodied wine with remarkable depth and length of flavour. Underlying notes of cedar, toast and savoury spice from maturation in French oak contributes subtle complexity.

Shiraz is selected from vines grown to the central and northern part of Margaret River, parcels which have shown remarkable balance year after year, consistently yielding loose, intensely flavoured bunches with small berry size, critical to the Evans & Tate style. The superlative ripening conditions allow flavour and tannin development to catch up with sugar ripeness, producing an intensely coloured wine with ripe, concentrated flavours and fine, soft tannins. Evans & Tate have spared no expense and have pulled all the stops to deliver a world class Shiraz.

Upon completion, batches are gently pressed and pressings returned to the free runs, adding structure and style to the finished wine. Components are matured a year or more in a combination of seasoned and new French oak puncheons, hogsheads and barriques. Every batch represents an individual vineyard block and is kept separate until final assemblage.
