Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
SOLD OUT - No longer available for direct sales.
Cabernet Sauvignon has been the backbone of the Margaret River region since the first vineyards were planted in the late 1960’s. All of the top producers in the region are recognised for the quality of their premium Cabernet Sauvignon and/or blends.
The Cabernet vines at Rosily are perfectly matched to their terroir, and produce well-balanced canopies and crops each year with minimal intervention.
The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon is a well structured wine that reflects this natural affinity, and displays strong varietial and regional definition.
