Cabernet Merlot is the classic Aussie red blend that brings together the best of both worlds. Cabernet Sauvignon gives backbone, structure, and those signature blackcurrant and cassis notes, while Merlot softens things up with juicy plum, red berries, and a plush, silky texture. The result? A medium to full-bodied wine that’s smooth, approachable, and packed with flavour—think blackberries, cherries, a touch of mocha or cedar, and sometimes a hint of spice or eucalyptus.

You’ll find Cabernet Merlot from all over Australia, with Margaret River, Coonawarra, Langhorne Creek, and the Yarra Valley leading the charge. It’s a go-to for everything from weeknight dinners to special occasions, pairing brilliantly with roast lamb, beef, or a classic meat pie. If you want a red that’s generous, versatile, and always crowd-pleasing, Cabernet Merlot is a must-have in your line-up.
