Willow Bridge vineyard is sited high on the western watershed of the Furguson River, with spectacular views over the coastal plains, to the city of Bunbury and the Indian Ocean. The vineyard is only 25km from the coast and receives the cooling afternoon sea breeze during summer and because of it's elevation, the warm days are quite moderated. (6 x 75 cl)

The wine is named the Black Dog because, according to the winemaker's son, the colour is as black as the inside of a dog. The fruit for this wine was harvested from the highest and stoniest part of the Ferguson Valley vineyard. Picked 10 days after the Estate Shiraz, the berries had attained great ripeness, colour and tannin structure. The wine was fermented in two separate tanks One had some wine run off for barrel fermentation, and in the other the wine was left on the skins for 4 weeks post-fermentation. The resultant wines were then run off to the finest oak barriques, mostly fine grained French and extra fine grained American oak. There were over 20 separate batches that were treated separately as the wine matured over 18 months. The resultant wine is deep in colour and rich, with round, ripe berry flavours and complex oak on the nose. The palate is huge and rich with loads of flavour, ripe tannins and a long, long finish. This is a big wine in all of its characteristics which somehow manages not to be over-extracted or broad.. (6 x 75 cl)
