92 POINTS - JAMES HALLIDAY

5 STAR WINERY

"Light, clear crimson-purple; a well-composed, structured and balanced medium-bodied cabernet; red and blackcurrant fruit, fine tannins and French oak all playing a role; doesn't demand extended cellaring, but will live for a decade or more thanks to its balance." - James Halliday

Lifted spicy Cabernet nose, minty with the French oak influence being evident. Full bodied of blackcurrent, aniseed, liquorice and ripe red current fruit. The wine finishes with fine long tannins and the influence of tight-grained premium French oak barriques.

Owned by John and Katie Sprig, Trevelen Farm has a family history in wine dating back to 1850’s, established on the family farm in 1993, it is the most northern vineyard in the great southern region of Western Australia. This protects the vineyard from diseases caused by coastal rain and reduces the use of artificial disease control. Climate is slightly warmer than the coast, but still benefits from the cool sea breezes.

Partner Vineyards a have also been established in the nearby Frankland River sub – region giving Trevelen Farm a wider choice for fruit selection.

The wines are carefully made by James Kellie, formerly of Howard Park - Denmark, has built a ‘state of the art’ 500 tonne winery at Harewood Estate in Denmark. It is here that James applies his passion to crafting our fruit into our award winning wines. We are very proud of what James creates and he is truly part of the Trevelen Farm wine family.
