MUSEUM Cabernet Merlot
2020 Cabernet Merlot
Margaret River, Western Australia
A classic Margaret River blend- the tannin of Cabernet Sauvignon beautifully complements the mid palate fruitiness and softness of the Merlot- this is an easy drinking, crowd pleasing red.
Description
Nose: Vibrant, lifted characters featuring pink musk, rooibos tea and wild strawberries.
Palate: Soft, generous, and eminently approachable with a beautiful freshness. A bright red core of raspberries, plums and strawberries sit nestled alongside fine gravelly tannins. Beautifully medium weighted the whole wine is delightfully bright.
Pairing: Perfect with some bbq chops or shepherd’s pie.
Winemaking: In making this wine, the emphasis is on minimal tannin extraction to produce a style rich in flavour with a softness to allow the wine to be enjoyed upon release. Cooler fermentation temperatures and earlier removal of the wine from its skins and seeds avoiding the extraction of bitter, green tannins.
