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.

Impenetrable red in colour, the nose is rich & exotic showing black & red currant, raspberry coulis, mulberry, plum, bay leaf & choc mint with spicy vanilla nuances. The palate is layered with the full spectrum of Cabernet Sauvignon fruit characters plus licorice & exotic spices. The palate is full of juicy, succulent, fruit perfectly balanced with the long fine tannins and quality French oak, which when combined with the fine acidity will ensure cellaring potential of at least 10 years.

The inviting nose offers aromas of blackberry, mulberry, black cherry and raspberry along with dark spices, cherry blossom and mocha vanillin oak.

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.

The nose offers an enticing array of stone fruit such as peach and nectarine along with melon. More complex characters of flint, nut meal, honey and spicy vanilla are derived from maturation in French oak barrels on yeast lees. The juicy palate is finely structured with a great depth of fleshy fruit, mealy complexity with everything else in balance with terrific cellaring potential of up to 8 years.

Golden straw in colour, the nose has a floral citrus blossom lift along with fruit characters of lemon, lime, pear and apple with a hint of marzipan and vanillin oak. The juicy sweet palate is smooth, slippery and sleek with a texture of creamed honey and a hint of marmalade rind like bitterness before acid provides a bright clean fresh finish.
