The Wilyabrup Cabernet is the estate's flagship wine, sourced from the original Wilyabrup vineyard planted over 50 years ago, where old vines now produce fruit of extraordinary concentration, purity and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1113\" data-start=\"808\"\u003eMargaret River's maritime climate, gravelly loam soils and long, even growing season give this wine its signature: structure, freshness and the ability to age for decades while maintaining balance and precision.

Firm yet polished tannins frame waves of dark fruit and savoury complexity, carried by bright natural acidity that keeps everything in balance. The finish is exceptionally long, persistent and structured — a hallmark of great Wilyabrup Cabernet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"2279\" data-start=\"2276\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2297\" data-start=\"2281\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2297\" data-start=\"2281\"\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2349\" data-start=\"2299\"\u003eA wine of this scale demands equally serious food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2547\" data-start=\"2351\"\u003eWe love it with \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mymeatman.com\/products\/australian-frozen-grass-fed-cape-grim-tomahawk-steak?_pos=1\u0026amp;_psq=Cape+Grim+Grass-Fed+Tomahawk+Steak\u0026amp;_ss=e\u0026amp;_v=1.0\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGrass Fed Cape Grim Tomahawk Steak\u003c\/a\u003e from \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mymeatman.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMy Meat Man\u003c\/a\u003e — the charred crust, rich marbling and primal presentation of the cut match the wine's depth, structure and intensity perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2690\" data-start=\"2549\"\u003eIt also pairs beautifully with roast lamb shoulder, aged ribeye, venison, or mature hard cheeses such as aged cheddar or Parmigiano Reggiano.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2729\" data-start=\"2692\"\u003eA true special-occasion pairing wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"2734\" data-start=\"2731\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2762\" data-start=\"2736\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2762\" data-start=\"2736\"\u003eWhy This Is a Must-Buy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2832\" data-start=\"2764\"\u003eAt HK$688, the 2018 Moss Wood Wilyabrup Cabernet Sauvignon delivers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"3051\" data-start=\"2834\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2868\" data-start=\"2834\" data-section-id=\"vy7nwj\"\u003e98-point James Halliday rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2912\" data-start=\"2869\" data-section-id=\"17sa4nw\"\u003efruit from 50+ year old Wilyabrup vines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2959\" data-start=\"2913\" data-section-id=\"wp4i5p\"\u003eextended 29-month maturation in French oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"3019\" data-start=\"2960\" data-section-id=\"18pbd26\"\u003eone of the greatest vintages ever produced by Moss Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"3051\" data-start=\"3020\" data-section-id=\"37hyvp\"\u003edecades of cellar potential\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3154\" data-start=\"3053\"\u003eThis is not just a premium Cabernet — it is one of the reference-point wines of Australian fine wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"3159\" data-start=\"3156\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3195\" data-start=\"3161\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"3195\" data-start=\"3161\"\u003eLooking for a Different Style?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/7962228031557\"\u003e2020 Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/a\u003e — same producer, single-vineyard Ribbon Vale Cabernet, 96pts Halliday at a lower price\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/7887083536453\"\u003e2019 Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/a\u003e — same producer, previous Ribbon Vale vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/7887086387269\"\u003e2019 Fraser Gallop Parterre Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/a\u003e — peer premium Margaret River Cabernet, 96pts Halliday\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6194\/1061\/files\/life_is_too_short_to_drink_bad_wine-1.jpg?v=1778312714\" alt=\"Life is too short to drink bad wine\" style=\"max-width: 100%; width: 400px; height: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Wine Man","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44591545811013,"sku":null,"price":688.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6194\/1061\/files\/2018-moss-wood-wilyabrup-cabernet-sauvignon.jpg?v=1777456798","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineman.com\/products\/2018-moss-wood-wilyabrup-cabernet-sauvignon","provider":"My Wine Man","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
