Woodlands Wines Clementine Cabernet Merlot Malbec Petit Verdot

Woodlands Wines ‘Clémentine’ Cabernet Merlot Malbec Petit Verdot 2021 is a richly flavoured Margaret River red, combining dark berry fruit with fragrant spice and a firm, savoury structure. From the Woodlands Brook Vineyard, this Cabernet-led blend also includes Petit Verdot, bringing depth and aromatic complexity to a wine balanced by refreshing acidity.

Violet, clove, cinnamon and anise aromas mingle with black olive, cigar box and subtle leather. The palate unfolds with blackberry and blackcurrant, supported by graphite-like tannins and savoury mocha notes. Fresh cherry acidity lifts the fruit, while cacao and roasted almond linger through a dry, structured finish.

Suggested pairings include rosemary-roasted lamb, chargrilled beef or slow-braised short ribs. Its dark fruit and savoury tannins would also complement mushroom and lentil ragù. Allow time in the glass for the berry fruit and spice to unfold.
