Cabernet Sauvignon Suckfizzle, Stella Bella, Margaret River 2022

Stella Bella, Augusta

In the heart of Margaret River creates idiosyncratically named ranges like Suckfizzle with a low-intervention, organic ethos approach that allows their cherished vineyards to show their quality.

The most southern and unique vineyard in the Margaret River Region. Situated in Augusta, surrounded by the Southern and Indian Oceans and just a stone’s throw from the Blackwood River inlet. This extraordinary location is influenced by the prevailing Antarctic winds of the Southern Ocean and moderated by the warmth of the mighty Blackwood river. By day it is 4-5 degrees cooler than Margaret River and by night it is 2-3 degrees warmer. Thus, creating wines with distinct flavour, character and age-ability.

The nose is strikingly perfumed with ripe mulberries, blackberries and redcurrants lifted by a hint of both star anise and sage. The background expression of mocha and vanillin from selected Tronçais French Oak barrels integrates well with the opulent fruit flavours. Medium to full bodied in the mouth, with significant density of flavour. The tannins are fine, providing a silky, linear transition from the front to the back of the palate. The sweetness of fruit and the suppleness of the tannins are integrated with the blackcurrant, mulberry and redcurrant fruit flavours. Finely balanced, complete and with great charm; the wine’s retro-nasal persistence and length of flavour are stupendous.
