ABOUT THIS WINE
Ringbolt Cabernet Sauvignon is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Margaret River region of Western Australia. The producer, established in 2001, draws inspiration from the area's maritime history, with the wine's name referencing a historical shipwreck. The grapes are sourced from select vineyard sites, particularly in the Wilyabrup sub-region, which is characterized by its maritime climate and gravelly soils that promote fruit concentration. The 2021 vintage was marked by a slow start and a long, even ripening period due to cool weather conditions, contributing to the development of complex flavors. The wine is noted as being vegan-friendly.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Ringbolt Cabernet Sauvignon is produced from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Following harvest, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation. It is then aged for approximately 8 to 9 months in a mix of new and used French and American oak barriques and hogsheads. The winemaking aims to express the unique maritime climate of Margaret River and the characteristics of the Cabernet Sauvignon varietal.
