Details
Crafted from some of the oldest vines on the Davies' property, this seamless Margaret River Cabernet is a work of winemaking art. Every part of the production happens with a gentle hand, from the basket pressing to the hand plunging, and it has produced something wildly classy. Dark, brooding fruit is the first thing you'll taste here, with blackberry and a little cedar, with a contrast between boldness and gracefulness, wrapped in 'drink me later' tannins. Just a super wine.

Talk about contrasts. As you drive down Caves Road in Margaret River, on one side of the road, you pass the cheesy fun of the Yallingup farm and mini golf (with a full 18 holes!), and on the other, the engrossing biodiverse beauty of the Windows Estate. As custodians of this property, Chris Davies and his wife Jo believe this unique place isn't just a vineyard, it's a living, breathing organism. Two natural springs rise on the property, feeding five different plots and three completely different soil types. It's a grapegrowing kaleidoscope, farmed organically with minimal additions, no irrigation, and everything done by hand (right down to whipper snippering the weeds rather than using sprays). And the wines? Well, they're just as considered, with moderation, savouriness, and the sort of detail that you would normally see in much fancier wines from much more far-flung places. The only challenge is about volume. With just 9 hectares of vines, the Windows Estate releases are among the most sought-after 'wines you'll never know about' in the country. We're stoked to have some at GPD finally!

Pairing guide
Refined and serious, the 2021 Petit Lot Cabernet Sauvignon brings classic cassis, graphite, and bay leaf notes in a sleek Margaret River frame. It’s perfect with herb-crusted lamb, aged cheddar, or a peppery eye fillet. Try it with a wild mushroom and lentil ragu for a plant-based option that delivers both richness and depth. Roasted root veggies with rosemary or a smoky beetroot tart also work beautifully. This Cabernet is structured but not overbearing—give it a decant, some slow-cooked dishes, and a few hours to stretch out. Ideal for a long, indulgent dinner.
