VOYAGER ESTATE THE MODERN CABERNET 2021

Style: Savoury & Detailed

Voyager Estate is located on Stevens Road in the Boodjidup Valley, which is emerging as hallowed ground (Leeuwin, the western neighbour, Xanadu's Stevens Road vineyard and the vineyards of Voyager Estate complete the trinity of prestige in this neck of the woods). The estate was established in 1978 by viticulturist Peter Gherardi, and later purchased and expanded by Michael Wright in 1991. Michael¿s daughter, Alexandra Burt, has been at the helm since 2005. The vineyard and winery are undergoing transition to certified organic status (due for completion in 2023) and there is extensive clonal and varietal experimentation in the estate vineyards. ERIN LARKIN, James Halliday

First poured, a ghastly apparition appeared as if this had been placed in a corset and cinched tight. In a vinous sense, that means decanting or letting this beauty breathe in the glass. It has all the varietal appeal of Margs, its shapely tannins, supple and ever so slightly grainy and its savouriness. Very little oak impact (15% new French barriques), other than offering a complementary light seasoning of cedary spices. 95 JANE FAULKNER, Wine Companion
