Cabernet Sauvignon

Carpe Diem (in Latin) which means to “seize the day” was built to replicate the delicious textural wines found in Italy using Australian grown grapes familiar to Gianfranco’s Italian background. The vineyard is planted on the very best of classic Margaret River gravel soil, with a beautiful Northern aspect closely similar to the same climate as Northern […]

Just like the region’s flora, this wine is distinctively Western Australian – sourced from Margaret River the wine is a prime example of this variety, boasting intricate flavours and fine tannins developed from the region’s mild summers, reliable springs and cool ocean breezes. Fruitful and vibrant, with dark berries, plum fruit and a delicious texture.

The generous palate is packed full of juicy fruits of the forest, cassis and chocolate characters. Medium to full-bodied, the fleshy fruits are supported by moreish, supple tannins. A balanced wine with a persistent fruit finish.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 16 months in French oak, fermented on skins for 7 days. Secondary fermentation in barrels to soften tannins & integrate oak. Bottled & cellared for a minimum 6 months before release.
