Juniper Estate’s Cornerstone Cabernet is a benchmark expression of Wilyabrup, crafted from vines planted on free-draining gravelly soils at the heart of Margaret River. The vineyard’s coastal influence brings cool nights and warm days, producing fruit with natural balance and structure.

The wine then matures in French oak barriques, with a careful balance of new and seasoned barrels, allowing the character of the site to shine.
