Alastair Gillespie has grown grapes in the Margaret River region for over twenty five years. He also owns and operates a viticultural contracting business, establishing, maintaining, pruning and harvesting for growers in all the viticultural regions of Western Australia. To produce consistently outstanding wines requires a single minded determination not to compromise. The Cabernet was grown at Willyabrup, on twenty six year old vines, and at Witchcliffe, twelve kilometres south of Margaret River on twenty four year old vines, some of the oldest in the region. Vinified at the O'Leary Walker wineworks and aged in mainly French oak hogsheads and barriques for eighteen months.
