Description

Bruce Dukes' winemaking starts literally from the ground up.

The man has been obsessed with growing things for over two decades and it shows in every wine he makes. His roots have been put down in Margaret River, and as such he has immense insight into what the balance of soil, aspect and clone can do to a wine in this part of the world. One of his great loves is Margaret River Cabernet - and with this wine, we can definitely see why.

He explained to us, "Rebus is a picture puzzle that when you look at it, the solution is not immediately apparent, there may be several solutions. That's why I love Margaret River Cabernet - it's constantly changing and it keeps me constantly challenged."

If you love Margaret River Cabernet, you are going to fall in love with this wine.

Value for money

Blackcurrant colour. Gum leaves and pepper, cassis and plum joice. fine tannins and quite a longfinish. a slight bitter inish detracts from a perfect finale. Good value for money.

Great value

Reliable and always great value.

Rebus Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine crafted to stay true to its heritage as an icon of the Margaret River region. Our first release was in 2012. Since then, Rebus has made friends with people and proteins across Australia.

An intricate tapestry of glazed cherries, violets and graphite, deftly woven into a palate laden with flavours of red currants, cacao nib and plum skin. Bristling tannin on the entry and a tensile core of liquorish, black berries and slate, culminates in a persistent and ever-changing mineral finish.

ALCOHOL
14% by Vol | 8.3 Standard Drinks

FOOD MATCHING
Angus steak | quail or duck | strong cheese

GROWING SEASON
Lower than average soil moisture and higher than average temparatures through late spring and early summer allowed for smaller berries with better spacing on the bunch. This set the stage for a concentrated and intensely flavoured crop.

VARIETY
Cabernet Sauvignon 90% Cabernet Franc 10%

WINEMAKING
The parcels of fruit were fermented and matured separately, and after 12 months were blended before bottling based on a precise tasting profile.

MATURATION
40% new French oak barriques for 12 months. Mainly from the Allier and Center of France.

CELLARING POTENTIAL
Up to 10 years, but delicious now.

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone β€” no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
