Homestead claimed conspicuous Gold Medal wins at the London International Wine & Spirit Competition for Cabernet Merlot two years in in a row, quite an achievement. The Langton Homestead property itself is the most suitable in all Plantagenet Shire for viticulture. It is also some of the oldest country to be settled by pioneers who grazed and established fruit trees. Only the best land was selected by these early settlers and Langton was their prime choice. Highly evocative of the classically French style in Cabernet Merlot, a match to hotpots or braised cheek.
Parcels of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon are harvested throughout the cool of night to retain flavour and freshness in the grapes. Batches are vinified in static fermenters for ten days, pressed off skins and racked, followed by inoculation for a course of malolactic. Components are treated to ten months oak maturation before assembling into the finished wine.
TASTING NOTES
Brilliant dark red, ruby hues. Intense aromatics of blackcurrant, dark cherry and satsuma plum, notes of underlying subtle vanilla oak spice. Medium bodied palate, full fleshed with flavours of red berries and blood plum, seasoned by French oak hints of cinnamon and vanilla allspice. Fine tannins, exquisite balance and superb length.

About Goundrey Winery
With a colourful history dating back to 1839, Goundrey prides itself on consistently delivering reliable, flavoursome wines

The infectious enthusiasm of the late West Australian wine identity, Jack Mann, encouraged a small number of farmers to diversify into grape growing, and pioneer the region. Goundrey»
