Woodlands Cabernet Sauvignon 'Chloe Anne' 2017

One of the flagship wines from Woodlands Vineyard, Chloe Anne 2017 is a remarkable expression of Margaret River Cabernet, sourced from the estate's original vineyard in Wilyabrup. Established in 1973 by David Watson and Heather Watson, Woodlands is one of Margaret River's founding wineries, now farmed organically and guided by the next generation, Stuart Watson and Andrew Watson.

Crafted from a classic Bordeaux-inspired blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Malbec and 3% Cabernet Franc, Chloe Anne showcases the depth, elegance and longevity that have made Woodlands one of Australia's benchmark Cabernet producers.

Intensely deep crimson in colour, the wine opens with perfumed aromas of violet, fresh mint, vanilla and beautifully integrated French oak. The palate unfolds in layers, revealing blue fruits, blackcurrant and brambly berry characters supported by subtle forest floor and undergrowth complexity. With time in the glass, darker fruit notes emerge, flavours become increasingly harmonious, and the finely structured tannins reveal their impressive depth and texture.

Powerful yet impeccably balanced, the wine combines richness and concentration with freshness and finesse. A vibrant natural acidity drives the exceptionally long finish, ensuring both immediate appeal and outstanding cellaring potential.
