Description
This 2021 Cabernet Malbec from Deep Woods Estate is all about showing what a great Margaret River vineyard can do. From the historic Septimus Vineyard in Wilyabrup, it’s a blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon and 23% Malbec that brings out the best of both varieties. Cabernet delivers its hallmark structure and red fruit brightness, while Malbec adds a touch of spice and plush blue-fruited charm.
The cooler 2021 vintage has given this wine a medium-bodied, elegant feel. You’ll find aromas of cassis, bay leaf, and a sprinkle of warm spices, with subtle oak in the background. On the palate, it’s finely detailed and balanced, with silky tannins and just enough richness to keep you coming back for more.
Whether you’re tucking it away for a few years or enjoying it now with a roast or some hard cheese, it’s a cracking wine that feels both classic and fresh. Straightforward, honest, and seriously delicious.

"At once powerful yet contained with the varieties beautifully matched. While the classy cabernet aromas and flavours come through, they are rendered more savoury by the malbec and oak. The fuller-bodied palate is alive and vibrant, flavours build and the tannins have presence, all textural and ripe. The finish lingers long as will this wine as in at least two decades."
