Vibrant crimson in colour, this medium bodied wine is the traditional blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
Bouquets of cassis and blackcurrant highlight an attractive palate of red fruits and mocha. This wine has rich lingering flavours with a smooth well balanced finish.

In December 2005 the Mathews family acquired the long-established Hopelands Vineyard located in the pristine Margaret River wine region.
During 2006 the vineyard was rejuvenated, requiring many hours of physical labour.
The vines were cut right back and retrellised, resulting in a consequent reduction in yield and significant rise in wine quality.
The After Hours harvest is around 30 tonnes of fruit each year, from which approximately 2500 cases of premium wine are produced.
The vineyard consists of Cabernet Sauvignon (2.6 ha), Shiraz (1.6 ha), Merlot, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay (1.1 ha each).
