Margaret River, located in the far south-west corner of Western Australia, produces around twenty per cent of Australia’s premium wines from only three per cent of Australia’s total grape crush. The areas’ high winter rainfall, warm summer and soils grey loam on a subsoil of clay, have provided the basis for producing powerful yet elegant wines like Cabernet blends and Chardonnay.
Named after legendary Houghton winemaker, Jack Mann who presided over the winemaking for 51 consecutive vintages at Houghton. His determination to create wines of intensity, elegance and regional character have inspired a generation of Australian winemakers to achieve great things. Predominantly derived from cabernet sauvignon vines planted in 1971, this is simply one of this country’s greatest cabernets with an intense palate containing scrumptious layers of blackberry, gum leaf, tobacco and dark chocolate.
