{"title":"Menzies Vineyard","description":"\u003cp\u003eMenzies Vineyard is on Metricup Road in Wilyabrup. It is one of the few high-density vineyards in Australia, planted at 1m x 1m, 10,000 vines to the hectare. The varieties are cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot 181, malbec and chardonnay. The vineyard is run on organic principles, fruit is hand-picked and sorted and wine produced on site. The goal is to make great West Australian cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay, closely followed by malbec and merlot. Rob Menzies does all the viticultural and wine work with the help and guidance of Rob Mann, who is an important part of the business achieving its goals into the future.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"menzies-vineyard-chardonnay-2023","title":"Menzies Vineyard chardonnay 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Wilyabrup Chardonnay has powerful intensity, evident immediately on the nose and confirmed on the palate. An aromatic mix of butterscotch, crème brûlée, a little meal character is immediately captivating. The palate strikes a precise balance of rich flavours, supported by understated oak and driven by crisp, mineral acidity through to a long finish. This is an impressive early release from this new producer and clearly points to a name of great promise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Menzies Vineyard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54454135750966,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/7545\/1446\/files\/IMG_3100.jpg?v=1787536643"},{"product_id":"menzies-vineyard-chardonnay-2024","title":"Menzies Vineyard chardonnay 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a slightly different expression to the 2023 vintage. The aromas are more restrained and show more minerally oyster shell, lemon-scented, lightly butterscotch characters. The palate is quite a deal tighter and leaner, which may have resulted from slightly earlier picking in this warm year. Still, it's a wine of poise and what appears to be typical vineyard power extending through to a very long finish. Certainly, needs a little more time to really move into its work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Menzies Vineyard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54454143713590,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/7545\/1446\/files\/IMG_3101.jpg?v=1787536837"},{"product_id":"menzies-vineyard-cabernet-sauvignon-malbec-2022","title":"Menzies Vineyard cabernet sauvignon malbec 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eA stylish and most elegant combination of these two varieties, which are so well-suited to Margaret River. The powerful blackcurrant, bay-leafy, oyster-shell minerality of the cabernet tends to dominate, but it's underpinned by that slightly more fleshy red fruit of the malbec. It all comes together into a neatly integrated combination that is bright and vibrant throughout. Excellent oak integration sits comfortably.

The season was outstanding, and it's allowed the aromas and flavours to build into a most polished wine. Nice notes of violet and blackcurrant and other lifted florals, with a little understated black olive tapenade. The palate is so beautifully bright and energetic, with lively red and black fruits harnessed with some quality fine-grained oak. The balance is impeccable. And to me, this shows the dab hand of winemaker Rob Mann in how this wine's been brought together.
