Plantagenet Wyjup Collection Cabernet Sauvignon

Plantagenet Wyjup Collection Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 from Plantagenet Wines in Mount Barker, Great Southern, is a classic, small‑batch cabernet that’s both powerful and finely detailed – a serious WA red with real polish. This Wyjup Collection Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 shows perfumed blackcurrant and ripe dark plum with blueberry, mulberry and a savoury mix of garam masala, saltbush, seaweed and bay leaf. Blackcurrant, cocoa and chalk‑dust notes sit over leafy olive, cedar and loamy earth, giving a cool‑climate, mineral edge.

On the palate it’s beautifully structured and intense, with juicy dark fruits shaped by sinewy, dusty tannins and well‑judged oak. About 40% new oak adds backbone and sweetness of spice without overpowering the fruit, leaving a long, dry, composed finish that feels built for the long haul. With just 120 dozen individually numbered bottles and mid‑90s scores from top critics, Wyjup Cabernet 2021 is clearly positioned as a cellar‑worthy Great Southern cabernet.

Plantagenet Wyjup Collection Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is ideal with slow‑roasted lamb shoulder on the bone, ribeye, venison pie or rich beef casseroles, where its blackcurrant, cocoa and herbal notes wrap around the meat and jus. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheddar, gouda and other hard cheeses, making this Wyjup Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 a top choice for hearty dinners and winter cheese boards.
