    • Description

      Fruit expression from this site includes violets, cassis and mulberry. Indeed, mulberry is a very attractive fruit character which is a unique part of the terroir expression of Margaret River Cabernet and their local heritage clone. This cuvee is named to reflect this unique mulberry character; Morus australis being the genus and species name for the mulberry tree.

      55% new barrels until the wine has achieved its own harmony, which was 14 months. The barriques are primarily from forests in the Center of France, Troncais and a touch of Bertrange. The wine then enjoys another year in bottle before release.

    Domaine Naturalist was awarded 'Best WA Winemaker 2011' by Wines of Western Australia and makes wines in 'An artisanal approach and quality inputs result in beautifully balanced wines.' Bruce Dukes has 24 years of local and international winemaking experience with 4 years at Francis Ford Coppola's Niebaum-Coppola winery in California taught him an important lesson; to understand and respect history, and to find out how and why ‘things happen’ and which techniques influence and shape the winemakers’ art. During his time in the Napa Valley, Dukes’ exacting and confident approach was succinctly captured by distinguished wine expert and writer Professor Steven Kolpan who noted in his book on Niebaum-Coppola entitled ‘A Sense of Place’ that;
