Stella Bella Cabernet Sauvignon – Stella Bella Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of our five vineyards; capturing the unique personality of each site, creating the truest reflection of southern Margaret River Cabernet. A medium
bodied wine with perfume, prettiness and elegance.
A medium bodied wine that is vibrant, supple and salivating. Bright redcurrant and fresh cranberry are complimented by dark, juicy plum and delicate notes of vanillin from French Oak. Soft cocoa powder
tannins deliver length and a salivating finish.
Vibrant red with abundant aromas of Cranberry, blueberry and violet lift from the glass, complimented by hints of dark chocolate, plum
and a subtle, forest floor character which adds a savoury, earthy complexity to the wine.
All of their Cabernet is harvested at optimum fruit ripeness to enhance the violet perfume and red and blue fruit character of southern Margaret River. The fruit is handled gently, with minimal
maceration to ensure whole berries and a pseudo carbonic maceration. After cold soaking, they ferment at warm temperatures of approx. 28 degrees and press based on fruit aroma, extraction
and our desired mouthfeel. Maturation in small format French oak barriques for up to 10 months, where the toast and forest is carefully selected based on its suitability for each vineyards fruit
aroma and flavour profile.

Margaret River Wines
Regarded as one of Australia’s best wine producing regions. It is synonymous with a new era in Australian wine. Margaret River Wine really began its vineyard life as a result of two research reports from Californian viticulturalist Professor Harold Olmo and the Western Australian scientist Dr John Gladstone. In 1965 Dr Gladstone’s report indicated that the region had all the attributes to produce world quality wines. This advise was acted on by Dr Tom Cullity who set up his Vasse Felix vineyard near Willyabrup, followed by Dr Kevin Cullen and his wife Di who set up Cullen Wines. The climate is regarded as ‘cool’ because of its long slow ripening season. This region is regarded along with Coonawarra and the Yarra Valley as one of the premium Cabernet Sauvignon areas in Australia. The main wine styles: Red – Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet-Merlot, Shiraz; White – Chardonnay, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc, Verdelho.
Margaret River Wines – a plethora of incredible wines from Western Australia
Probably the world’s most famous red grape variety. Originated from Bordeaux and has been present in Australia since 1832.
Wherever it has been planted the resulting wine has developed its own identity yet it is always recognisable. Although it will vary in intensity the aroma will always be dominated by berry characteristics in the classic wines and the tannins will be firm or textured and soften with age. Cabernet Sauvignon is high in acid and tannin and remains fresh for many years. It can be earthy and display strong blackcurrant flavours. The naturally high tannin and inherent complexity mean all Cabernet Sauvignons will improve with age.
Coonawarra, with its prized ‘terra rossa’ soils, Margaret River, Mount Barker (Great Southern) and Yarra Valley regions are considered the premium Cabernet Sauvignon areas in Australia.
