The 2022 Wilyabrup Cabernet will be the second of our Crofamiul Wines

​​

The grapes were picked on Friday 1st April 2022. 

This wine will be quite different to its older sibling.  It will still be a pure cabernet sauvignon (with perhaps a slight touch of cabernet franc), but this time the fruit will be sourced from a different vineyard in the very southern part of Wilyabrup (which is still in the northern part of the Margaret River wine region), and the wine will be a 50% new oak blend, using our 2021 barrel plus a new French oak barrique (compared to the 2021 vintage which was 100% new oak, with that fruit coming from a vineyard almost 10 kilometres due north and a few kilometres further inland from the ocean).

​

Our syndicate has grown too, and now includes the original four, plus four new folk, brother-in-law Phil Allen, plus Jon Steele, Martin Steens and Ted Copeland.

​

Here's a quick look at the vineyard a couple of weeks pre-harvest.

Crofamiul Wines; nothing formulaic about them.
