Product Notes

Woodlands Margaret Cabernet Merlot Malbec is a deep purple, velvety red wine that is a deliciously complex blend of three grape varietals. The Cabernet Sauvignon adds structure and depth with its firm tannins, while the Merlot brings softness and a smooth finish to the palate. The Malbec rounds things out with notes of black cherry and black currant. Aromas of dark fruit, vanilla, and spice, combine with flavors of blackberry, cassis, and mocha to create a rich, opulent wine that is perfect for pairing with hearty dishes like steak, lamb, or game. This wine is perfect for year-round enjoyment and will age gracefully over the next decade.

About the Winery

Woodlands

It was during 1981 that Woodlands, the Margaret River Valley-based winery in Australia, released its first wine in the market. However, the brand didn’t release any wine after that for more than a decade as the founders, David & Heather Watson, wanted to focus on their kids’ education. This was until 1991. During this time, all the fruits produced by Woodlands vineyards were sold to other wine producers.

The year 2007 was an important one for the Woodlands winery. This was because the company purchased the Woodlands Brook Vineyard in the picturesque Wilyabrup Valley. Thanks to this vineyard, the 2nd generation of the Watson family has explored opportunities to plant intense Cabernet Sauvignon on the interesting soils in the Wilyabrup Valley.

The two vineyards, where the fruits are grown for Woodlands wines are the following:
