BACKGROUND  INFORMATION

Brookland Valley is located along Caves Road, in the heart of the premium wine  region of Margaret River, Western Australia. A truly beautiful estate with the Wilyabrup Brook as a breathtaking backdrop to all that Brookland Valley has to offer. The picturesque property spans 52ha, consisting of vineyards established in 1983 planted to Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot.

TASTING NOTES

Pale straw with green hues, this wine displays light herbaceous aromas, reminiscent of freshly mown hay, along with hints of passionfruit, lemon and a touch of fresh tobacco.

The palate is soft and fine, oyet mouth filling. This is a wine that displays great balance of flavour, softness, crisp acid backbone and a long, persistent finish.

WINEMAKER’S NOTES

The fruit was harvested in the cool of the night and handled quickly on arrival at the winery; little skin contact was given as the fruit was in such good condition with excellent flavour.
