One of the first established vineyards on Margaret River, the balmy maritime climes at Wilyabrup just the north of the township are a bliss for the realization of Rhône styled Shiraz. Bunches are hand picked over the course of a fortnight as grapes achieve complete ripeness, fruit is gently plunged and treated to the extravagance of two years maturation in French oak barriques. A burst of currants and raspberry, cherries and plum, fine tannins, succulence and tremendous depth of flavour, Ashbrook drinks magnificently on release alongside all good fare.
