Woodlands Wilyabrup Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2022

From one of Margaret River's founding wine families, the Wilyabrup Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2022 captures the essence of the renowned Wilyabrup Valley, home to some of Australia's finest Cabernet-based wines. Established in 1973 by David Watson and Heather Watson, Woodlands Wines remains family-owned and farmed, with the estate's certified organic vineyards continuing to produce wines of exceptional quality and regional character.

Crafted in a classic Margaret River style, this blend combines the structure and intensity of Cabernet Sauvignon with the plushness and approachability of Merlot. The result is a polished, medium to full-bodied red that balances vibrant fruit with savoury complexity and fine tannins.

Lifted aromas of blackcurrant, dark plum and blackberry are complemented by classic Cabernet notes of cedar, graphite and fresh mint. The palate is richly flavoured yet elegant, offering layers of dark berry fruit, subtle spice and gentle oak influence. Fine-grained tannins provide structure and length, while natural acidity keeps the wine fresh and balanced through the finish.
