The Hidden Cave Cabernet Shiraz 2014
Overview
Overview
Deep in the south of Margaret River, beyond where most tourists venture, stand towering Karri forests, protecting a hidden cave they call the Devil’s Lair. It’s after this unassuming and somewhat shy cave – one of Australia’s most significant archaeological sites – that Devil’s Lair is named.
Despite it being an unusual blend for Margaret River, The Hidden Cave Cabernet Shiraz is instantly recognisable as Margaret River in origin, with fine, elegant tannins, sweet cassis fruit and lingering spice.

Margaret River, Western Australia
Margaret River’s jarrah and marri forests give way to sun, surf, sand – and since the 1970s, some of the most powerful, yet elegant Cabernets and Chardonnays around. It’s also famed for sumptuous Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blends.
Excellent winter rainfall provided a great start to the growing season followed by a warm spring with very little rain. December and January had a few intermittent showers but overall had characteristic warm days and cool nights allowing fantastic tannin and colour development
Ben Miller - Winemaker
After graduating in 1996 and after a short stint in a local winery in the Hunter Valley, Ben Miller travelled and worked in the most coveted winemaking regions of the world like Bordeaux, Champagne, Alsace, Rhone and Burgundy. This experience has served him well as senior winemaker at Devil’s Lair, where his philosophy has been to create outstanding examples of Margaret River’s leading varietals.
