2021 Lenton Brae Cabernet Merlot

A classic Margaret River blend- the tannin of Cabernet Sauvignon beautifully complements the mid palate fruitiness and softness of the Merlot- this is an easy drinking, crowd pleasing red. In making this wine, the emphasis is on minimal tannin extraction to produce a style rich in flavour with a softness to allow the wine to be enjoyed upon release. Cooler fermentation temperatures and earlier removal of the wine from its skins and seeds avoiding the extraction of bitter, green tannins.

A family-owned winery, Lenton Brae was established in 1982. Recent renovations have rejuvenated the site, showcasing the splendour of this region. Large bay windows overlook our lake, adorned with ducks and native birds. Outdoor shaded tables are perfect in the summer months and cosy fireplaces in winter. Situated just north of Margaret River, Lenton Brae is nestled into the hills of the premium Wilyabrup region. Here, loamy gravel soils provide excellent constitution and drainage. A stone’s throw (around 3.5kms) from the Indian Ocean, our vines benefit from a mild and consistent Mediterranean climate.
