Watson Family Wines Cabernet Merlot 2018

Made by the Watson family — the very same family behind the iconic Woodlands Wines in the Wilyabrup Valley, producing there since 1973. Watson Family Wines is their more affordable, everyday-drinking label, offering elegant expressions of Margaret River across the classics (Shiraz, Cabernet Merlot, Semillon Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay) as well as newer varieties like Nebbiolo. Same winemaking pedigree, same regional focus — just a friendlier price point for easy, approachable drinking.

After harvesting, this wine was destemmed and crushed before being ‘cold soaked’ on skins for up to five days prior to fermentation. During fermentation the must was pumped over 4 times a day to extract colour and tannin. Following fermentation this wine was matured in French oak barrels for 12 months.
