2023 Amelia Park Cabernet Merlot, Margaret River

Combining the richness of Cabernet Sauvignon with the softness of Merlot, this wine offers a harmonious balance of fruit, structure, and finesse.

On the nose, it presents inviting aromas of blackcurrant, ripe plum, and dark cherry, intertwined with hints of cedar, tobacco, and a touch of cocoa. Subtle notes of dried herbs and spice add complexity to the bouquet.

The palate is medium to full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a well-integrated acidity that provides freshness and length. Flavors of blackberries and cassis are complemented by layers of dark chocolate, bay leaf, and a touch of oak, leading to a long, smooth finish with lingering notes of spice and earthiness.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, Amelia Park sources fruit from premium vineyards in Margaret River, a region celebrated for its maritime climate and gravelly soils, which contribute to the wine’s depth and complexity. Gentle oak aging enhances the wine's texture and adds subtle richness without overpowering the fruit.

This Cabernet Merlot is an ideal pairing for grilled lamb, roasted beef, or hearty pasta dishes. It also complements aged cheeses and charcuterie, making it a versatile addition to any occasion. Enjoyable now, it has the potential to evolve beautifully over the next 8–10 years.
