Tasting Notes:

The 2020 Volo Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon presents a deep, inviting colour in the glass, hinting at its rich and full-bodied character. The aromatic profile is complex and lifted, showcasing a beautiful bouquet of dark berry fruits such as blackberry, cassis, and ripe plum. There are also underlying hints of liquorice and cedar that add depth and intrigue.

On the palate, this Cabernet is medium-bodied yet elegant, offering smooth tannins that provide structure without overshadowing the fruit. The dark berry and plum flavours are the stars, leading into a long and lingering finish, accentuated by soft, sweet tannins that linger on the palate. The wine is already approachable but also has the potential to mature gracefully, developing more complexity and nuance over the next 8-10 years.


Vineyard and Winemaking Process

Sourced from the Esteemed Ironstone Vineyard: Located in the heart of the Wilyabrup region, the Ironstone Vineyard’s unique soil composition and east-facing orientation allow for optimal ripening of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The region’s moderate climate and maritime influences also ensure consistent fruit quality year after year.
Hand-Harvested with Care: The 2020 vintage was meticulously hand-harvested to ensure only the highest quality grapes made it into the bottle. Small batches are fermented with traditional winemaking techniques to preserve the integrity of the fruit.


Wine & Food Pairing Recommendations

  • Main Courses: The wine pairs beautifully with grilled rib-eye steak, roast lamb with rosemary, or barbecued sausages.
  • Cheese Pairings: Try it with strong cheeses like aged cheddar, gouda, or a blue cheese to complement the rich tannins.
  • Side Dishes: A rich mushroom risotto or grilled vegetables with balsamic glaze will enhance the earthy, fruit-forward profile of this Cabernet.
    Seasonal Pairing: As the cooler months approach, this full-bodied wine will be a perfect companion for your winter dinners.
