Margaret River

Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon is Western Australia's fine-wine calling card: a maritime, Mediterranean-climate red grown on free-draining ironstone-gravel loam in a slender peninsula between the Indian and Southern Oceans. Reliably long, warm, even ripening gives a wine of remarkable elegance — pure blackcurrant and bay leaf over supple, gravelly tannin — that is repeatedly likened to a sunnier, riper Bordeaux.
