Margaret River Cabernet |玛格利特河赤霞珠
Margaret River is one of the go-to regions for when cabernets with maritime influence: they often have a distinctive oyster shell, stone and fresh herb undertone to the blackcurrant and berry character.
This attention to detail in Margaret River, combined now with a string of good vintages starting with 2007, means that there is tremendous consistency in the quality of grapes coming from the best vineyards. Much has been done to get the tannins just right, letting winemakers simply groom them in the winery.
Oak and other additions in the winery have simultaneously become less obvious among the best Margaret River producers as the quality of fruit has increased, revealing a stronger expression of terroir and allowing greater sub-regional expression to come to the fore. Let’s take a look at five of them.
