Caves Road Margaret River Semillon - Sauvignon Blanc (2016)

Named after the 350 caves that were formed about a million years ago along an old limestone ridge, Caves Road runs through the heart of the Margaret River region and the many unique microclimates that are ideal for growing a number of classic grape varieties. In the north, the lateritic gravel of the soils near Wilyabrup are renowned for excellent Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes; where the Indian and Southern Oceans meet, racy Sauvignon Blanc and fine Chardonnay can be farmed.It is not a surprise then that Caves Road Vintners often use the road, bordered by magnificent gum trees and wildlife and never far from the cooling breeze of the Indian Ocean, to source grapes for their wines that express both the typicity of the region and the variety.The winemaking team operates under the tutelage of Larry Cherubino. During his career Larry has been head winemaker at Houghton as well as a travelling consultant. He has designed vineyards and wineries and worked overseas in New Zealand, USA, France, Italy and South Africa. He has been nominated Best Young Australian Winemaker twice by Decanter Magazine and nominated as International Winemaker of the Year by the IWSC.
