Produced since 1992 and named in honour of Heather's French great grandmother, our 'Margaret has been our take on the Left Bank Bordeaux blend.
'Margaret' is sourced entirely from the Woodlands Vineyard. The Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the slope that wraps around a 90-degree radius from the east to the north, receiving a great deal of direct sunlight from morning to mid-afternoon. The Merlot and Malbec come from the west-facing slope of deep loam soil.
The 2018 ‘Margaret’ is a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 10% Malbec. The colour is deep garnet with a crimson hue. The aromas evoke Christmas- perfumed blackberry, boysenberry and brambly notes. Very inviting and satisfying, and almost relaxed. The palate opens up with intertwined berry crumble, forest floor, cassis and blackberries, married with grilled chestnuts and toasted breadcrumbs. The structure is powerful, with a ripe core of tannins and a long, velvety finish.
Enjoy this wine with plum-glazed duck breast, or crispy mushrooms with garlic and thyme on creamy white bean purée.
Though this wine can be enjoyed now, it will cellar well past 2030.
