Brookland Valley Estate Cabernet Merlot 2020

Brookland Valley is committed to producing exceptional wines from the remote and beautiful Margaret River region. This Cabernet Merlot is crafted from hand-picked, old vine fruit from selected premium vineyards in Margaret River and sees minimal intervention to create this blend. Vinified in small open top fermenters and then matured in French oak for 16 months prior to bottling, this wine shows style and elegance. Gold Medal - Royal Adelaide Wine Show 2022 Gold Medal - James Halliday Australian Chardonnay & Cabernet Challenge 2022 95 Halliday Points - "In 2022, the Swinney family bought Brookland Valley estate vineyard, 60ha all up, plus other assets such as the cellar door and restaurant from Accolade. The latter is leasing back the site and retaining the brand name with highly competent and dedicated Courtney Treacher leading the winemaking. This is a pristine and lovely wine, elegant and defined. All the regional flavours fill the mid-weighted palate but it is the fine tannins and lithe acidity that take this to another level." - Jane Faulkner Published 08 April 2024
