2016 Woody Nook Cabernet Sauvignon

In 1978 Jeff and Wynn Gallagher purchased the property with a vineyard in mind and began the arduous task of clearing and preparing the land. The first cuttings were planted in 1982 and the first crush took place in 1987, the first winery building having been built the year before.  At the end of 1999 when Jeff and Wynn decided to retire to Busselton and put Woody Nook on the market, Peter and Jane Bailey became the proud new owners in May 2000.

Tasting Note: Hand picked from 30+ year old dry grown vines, ‘Gallagher’s Choice’ is a classic, full-bodied Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon, it is vibrant and complex with a nose of blackcurrant, eucalypt and well integrated French oak.   The palate of dark berry fruits, herbs and cedary oak is tightly structured by the fine-grained tannins and acidity.   While ‘Gallagher’s Choice’ will drink well at release, patience will be rewarded as the wine develops and evolves over ten years..
