West Cape Howe Wines Cabernet Merlot 2022 (12 Bottles) Great Southern

$215.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Our Cape to Cape (white label) wines are approachable, fruit driven wines made for enjoying now and over the short term. As with previous releases, most of the fruit is from our mature vineyards in Mt Barker, with a smaller portion from Frankland River.

A deep, dark crimsony red.

Good depth of fragrant and quite spicy, ripe berry fruit aromas with a hint of char-grilled sweet capsicum.

Lovely sweet and smoky dark plum fruit flavours along with some delicious blackberry fruit characters. The wine is well structured with these generous dark berry fruit flavours complemented by the chewy, lightly drying tannins picked up from the skin contact during fermentation.

Has the depth of fruit to be enjoyed now but also has the good structure to improve with further bottle age. Delicious now with everything from a cheese platter to a full flavoured meal.
