Hand-picked from some of the oldest Cabernet vines in Wilyabrup (planted 1976), the berries are cold soaked, gently plunged and temperature controlled in 4 tonne parcels in open fermenters for gentle and full extraction. The wine is matured in 100% French oak barriques (40% new) for 2 years, then further stored in our underground climate controlled cellar for 2 years before release.

This is a limited release and the second Ashbrook Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon following in the footsteps of the highly acclaimed and successful 2010 Reserve.
