Houghton Gladstones Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 by Houghton Wines, Margaret River, is a striking, deep crimson cabernet with serious presence and polish, capturing the power of Wilyabrup in a refined, modern style. It is a standout release that feels built for both pleasure now and the long haul in the cellar.

In the glass, it gushes with blackcurrant, ripe plum and dark berries, layered with bay leaf, tobacco, cedar and fine French oak spice. The palate is full‑bodied yet composed, with concentrated fruit, bright acidity and long, fine tannins giving real drive and definition.

This Houghton Gladstones Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 is spot‑on with roast lamb, chargrilled ribeye, braised beef cheeks or slow‑cooked shanks. It also shines with aged cheddar or Gouda, making it a perfect centrepiece for a serious weekend spread or special‑occasion dinner.
