2020 Water Dancer Cabernet Merlot
In Stock
Estate grown from the spectacular hillside vineyard in the Ferguson Valley of the Geographe wine region, fruit is sourced predominately from the Blinman blocks which was planted in 1998.
Soil is typically a deep layer of ironstone gravelly loam over red and yellow friable clay with slight westerly aspects at elevations of 220 to 250m above sea level.
Water Dancer typifies the juicy and fleshy expression of the varieties from the Geographe region. A spectrum of flavours ranging from bright berry fruits, to darker plum and lashings of chocolate.
Winemaking technique enhances the aromatic and flavour profile of the varieties whilst maintaining a long fine tannin structure.

Winemaker Notes
A season in which we have had our hottest December days ever, our warmest nights since 2012 and our driest December since 2008
However despite these conditions being thought of as less than ideal, we could not be happier with the overall quality of the wines from the vintage,
when all this occurred in tandem with the absence of our two nemeses, bushfires and birds! We did though experience a low yielding crop.
