Description

Julian Langworthy has a knack for making Margaret River cabernet look ridiculously easy. While he collects trophies across the country, Nocturne is where he gets to play by his own rules. The Sub-Regional range is all about getting top-shelf Yallingup fruit into bottle without slapping a silly price tag on it.

The foundation here is mature cabernet sauvignon from his home turf at Sheoak Vineyard, spliced with bits of merlot and malbec to round out the edges. The 2025 season delivered pristine fruit with heaps of natural perfume. Julian handles it with a light touch in the cellar, keeping oak strictly in check so the bright regional character does the heavy lifting.

It is a cracking red that punches way above its weight. Expect dark berry crunch, cedar, and a hit of dried bay leaf, with fine gravelly tannins pulling everything through. It offers proper Margaret River pedigree and serious value, ready to smash right now or sit in the rack for a few years.

This wine tastes of the future, or at least a future that I want to be part of—one where medium-bodied wines of great complexity and huge drinkability are the norm. Cabernets, simply put, are just the most rewarding wines there are to drink.

Yallingup is our stomping ground, and where the world’s greatest varietal Cabernet and Cabernet blends are being grown. It’s deliciously warm but never hot, with the amazing dual influence of the Indian Ocean and Geographe Bay. In this SR7 Cabernets, we have used our own beloved Sheoak Cabernet, Merlot from Peccavi Vineyard and Malbec from the Robinson property, with which we’re lucky enough to share the amazing valley.

Medium-bodied Cabernet and Cabernet blends are the future…. Ever were, always will be. Come on in, the water is cassis-flavoured and mighty fine.

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 — 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.
