As treacherous as it is beautiful, Western Australia’s rugged southwest coastline is littered with shipwrecks – the wreck of the Ringbolt being one of them. Sunk in the late 1800s in what is now known as Ringbolt Bay, located on the southern tip of the Margaret River wine region, adjacent to Cape Leeuwin. It is at Ringbolt Bay where the Southern and Indian Oceans merge and their invigorating waters lap at the edge of the Margaret River wine region.
Having always taken a meticulous approach to his winemaking, Peter believes in attention to detail at every stage. From harvesting at optimal ripeness and fruit flavour, barrel maturation and to continuing to monitor the wine once in bottle - ensuring they are released only at their most enjoyable.
The wine is a bold crimson red colour with purple hints and a nose with excellent fruit intensity showing cherry ripe fruit with notes of oak spice perfume and forest-floor brightness, evocative of place. On tasting the wine, it opens with a lively red berry palate with complex dense dark chocolate characters and finishes with textured grape and oak tannins. Enjoy now or through to 2022. A great partner for flame grilled meats. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
