Corymbia Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
Wines taste best when shared with friends!
Corymbia is the deep-rooted, far-sighted vision of husband-and wife-team, Rob and Genevieve Mann. The Mann name is synonymous with Western Australia’s Swan Valley, where Rob’s pioneering grandfather Jack worked a remarkable 51 consecutive vintages for Houghton. Rob was just a boy when he joined his father - former Australian test cricketer Tony - in planting the vines on what is now the dry-grown, organically farmed Corymbia vineyard.
"Corymbia is one of the most exciting wine projects to emerge from Western
Australia in a decade. The wines under the Corymbia label have been outstanding." Mike Bennie, Gourmet Traveller WINE
"The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon springs from a most glorious season in Western Australia (WA), and in particular, Margaret River. I judged at eight wine shows last season, six of which had classes of wines from Western Australia in 2023. It is my estimation that 2023 was a vintage that extracted the very best from every variety in every region in WA, and some of those classes—the Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon classes at the Margaret River wine show, for example—numbered among the most pleasurable classes of wines that I have ever judged in over 50 wine shows.
So, to this wine. It's is aromatic and leafy and layered with cassis, flaked milk chocolate, cracked peppercorns, nori sheets and mulberry. This has everything aromatically, but it is in the mouth where the tannins steal the show. This is elegant, finely milled, soft in its way and so long through the finish. It's a remarkable wine, made all the more remarkable by its élevage in a large-format old oak vat (1,600 liters), which allows the fruit and the natural tannins to really shine. It is 100% berry sorted and fermented and aged in old oak. This is the lowest pH Cabernet made from this Corymbia vineyard in Calgardup in Margaret River, and it is also the greatest. It is a statement and a pleasure. My emphatic advice is to find it if you can." 98pts | Erin Larkin | Wine Advocate
