Our Wines > Estate Wines

Our Estate range represents our efforts to produce the best wine possible to truly represent the Wilyabrup region. 
The formula is hand-picked fruit from old, unirrigated vines which are hand pruned and canopy-managed for low yields and optimum flavour ripeness. Only the best fruit goes into the Estate wines and the process is overseen by the passionate vineyard and winemaking teams.

The Estate wines are Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, produced from vines planted in 1973, and Semillon from vines planted in 1981. We also produce a "sticky" - the Cane Cut Riesling - in very limited quantities for cellar door sales.

Pale green in colour, fruit characters of lemon, pear, green apple, white nectarine combine with more complex characters of lemon brulée, mineral, oatmeal and lemon grass from the natural yeast component and lees stirring while the barrel fermentation characters show as a smoky, toasty vanillin combo. The fine structured palate has a smooth creamy texture from maturation on yeast lees brought in check by spicy savoury oak and mouth watering citrus fresh acidity. This style of wine is best served slightly chilled with your favourite seafood (a great alternative to Chardonnay). With careful cellaring the 08 Juniper Semillon has a medium term cellaring of 8 about years.
