Wines of Merritt Wilyabrup Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

The Wilyabrup vines, rooted in deep sandy loam over gravel, yield wines with lifted aromatics, an elegant character, and a refined tannin structure. Following gentle extraction, the wine is transferred into high-quality second-fill St. Martin Bordeaux barriques. It's then bottled without any fining or filtration. The result? A fragrant, medium-bodied, elegant wine with a lingering finish.

Nick, the maker, and Sarah, the master, craft small-batch, single-vineyard, low-intervention wines of texture and character from Margaret River, employing unconventional varieties and techniques. Their approach is gentle, steering clear of fining and filtering, and instead, they prioritize sensitivity to the wines' needs over imposing pre-existing recipes.
