2024 Amelia Park Trellis Cabernet Merlot, Margaret River

Amelia Park Trellis Cabernet Merlot from Margaret River is a smooth, fruit-driven red that delivers exceptional value while capturing the regional character of one of Australia's most acclaimed wine regions. Made by celebrated winemaker Jeremy Gordon, this wine is part of the Trellis range, designed to offer immediate appeal and easy-drinking enjoyment without compromising on quality or varietal expression.

Cabernet Sauvignon forms the backbone of the blend, bringing structure, dark fruit and classic regional notes of cassis and bay leaf. Merlot softens the edges, adding plushness, red fruit charm and approachability. Sourced from vineyards in the Wilyabrup and surrounding subregions, the fruit benefits from gravelly soils and the moderating influence of the nearby Indian Ocean, which helps maintain vibrant acidity and aromatic lift.

The wine is fermented in stainless steel and aged in seasoned French oak to preserve freshness while adding subtle complexity. Aromas of blackcurrant, plum and red cherry are layered with hints of tobacco, dried herbs and gentle spice. The palate is medium-bodied, with soft tannins, bright fruit and a smooth finish that makes it a perfect partner for everyday meals or casual entertaining.

Pair it with grilled lamb skewers, margherita pizza, pasta with beef ragu or a simple cheeseburger. This is a wine to enjoy young, offering polished Margaret River character in a relaxed and accessible style.
