Instantly perfumed and richly coloured, the wine spent 14 days on skins with a peak fermentation temperature of around 26 degrees C. The wine was pressed to tank and settled briefly, before being transferred to a combination of new (25%) and two \u0026amp; three-year-old barrels to undergo malolactic fermentation. The wine was racked only once in this time and, after 16 months in oak, was emptied from barrel. Only the best barrels were selected for this final blend. The wine was then settled, clarified and bottled. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Sheoak vineyard makes expressive, medium-bodied silky structured wines. This is the perfect incarnation: dark fruit flavours and high notes of cassis and warm spice frame this fine and completely poised vintage of the Nocturne SV.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Review:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eErin Larkin, Robert Parker Wine Advocate - 97+pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"The 2023 Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the Sheoak vineyard and leads with all the purity, precision and balance that we have come to expect from the glorious 2023 season. You get cassis, raspberry pip, dried herbs, sheets of nori, iodine and leather. The wine is potently intense; the fruit penetrates the palate and stains it with flavor. The wine is still opening up; it's so young as to be inchoate and with a long, bright future ahead. It has a glittery, purple, shimmering sort of vibrancy to it, as if lit by its own inner light. Margaret River is at its greatest when wines are like this, with concentrated flavor, weight without heaviness, resolved ductile tannins and purity of fruit.
