Woodlands 'Margaret' Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Malbec Reserve 2021

The Woodlands Margaret 2021 is the flagship wine of Woodlands, representing the finest expression of the estate's historic Wilyabrup vineyards. Named in honour of founder Margaret Watson, this renowned Bordeaux-inspired blend showcases the elegance, structure and longevity that have made Woodlands one of Margaret River's benchmark producers.

The cooler conditions of the 2021 vintage have delivered exceptional lift and brightness. Predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by smaller portions of Malbec, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the wine opens with expressive aromas of dark berry fruits layered with savoury notes of black olive and bay leaf. On the palate, the fruit is beautifully integrated with finely judged oak, while silky, fine-grained tannins provide structure, balance and remarkable poise.

Refined and polished, the 2021 Margaret combines immediate appeal with the pedigree and concentration to reward extended cellaring.
