Description
Nocturne is producing highly awarded single-vineyard wines from exceptional sites in Margaret River. This is the region where Julian grew up and where he’s honed his winemaking skills. In the process he’s won just about every prize imaginable, having taken out Winemaker of the Year for the 2019 Halliday Wine Companion, the 2016 Jimmy Watson Memorial trophy, at Royal Melbourne in the space of just a couple of years. Interesting wine. There’s a distinct walnut, cedar and furniture polish smell about it, or camphor chest, or similar. Aside that, dark chocolate, black fruit, pepper, some cranberry acidity and freshness, dry grainy tannin of grip and again a walnut/hazelnut skin character, brooding and a little herbal at the same time. Finish is good, all fresh blackberry, nori and nuts. Quite like it, but it’s an unusual wine all the same. – Gary Walsh, The Wine Front The Finer Details Style – Red Wine Varietal – Cabernet Sauvignon Country – Australia Region – Margaret River, Western Australia Vintage – 2019 Bottle Size – 750ml ABV – 14%
