[SOLD-OUT] Voyager Estate Girt by Sea Cabernet Merlot 2017

AGED CABERNET MERLOT BLEND FROM THE MARGARET RIVER MASTERS

 

"It's matured in all-French oak and while it's mostly cabernet and merlot there's a small portion of petit verdot in the mix. It's medium weight and fluid with blackcurrant, milk chocolate and gravel notes slipping amiably through. It has shape and texture but integrity of fruit is key here. No mucking about; this is a good cabernet to drink." - Campbell Mattinson

 

"A very interesting vintage for this wine that, thanks to the cooler year, has taken on a real Bordeaux feel. Gone is the powerful sweet fruit from the Margaret River which has been replaced by a much more savoury, earthy and food-friendly style.

The wine shows good colour and then displays gravel, cedar and leafy aromas with red currant and black olive complexity. The palate is then supple and soft, with merlot fleshiness providing good drinkability. It is a relatively complex everyday drinking red well suited to Shepard’s Pie." - Angus Hughson, Wine Pilot

Voyager Estate

5 Star Winery - Halliday Wine Companion

"This impeccably run Estate crafts a set of wines that ooze style and class. Even better, the quality just keeps getting better and better, reflecting the continual evolution in the vineyard and winery. It was Michael Wright who immaculately built this property into the beacon it has become today. While Voyager's founder and visionary sadly passed away in 2012, he left a powerful legacy of an absolute commitment to quality that today pervades every corner of Voyager. The Estate remains family owned, with Michael’s daughter, Alex Burt (nee Wright), matching her father's fanatical attention to detail with an environmental conscience that has opened another important chapter in the history of this Estate." - Bibendum

“... Michael (Wright) has never done things by halves, and has had the financial resources to turn Voyager Estate into one of the best vineyards and wineries in the region..” - James Halliday

"150 years of farming underpin my family's dedication to Voyager Estate. Our viticulture and winemaking bring everything I love about agriculture together in one enterprise. I settled on our special site in Stevens Valley because it had the ideal characteristics to create wines that are at home amongst the world's best. Its geology is the oldest in Australia and the gravel soils, microclimate, aspect and consistent maritime influence make up the foundations of the distinctive Voyager Estate style." - Michael Wright, Founder, 1937 - 2012
