The Distinguished Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon
If Chardonnay is the Queen of Margaret River than Cabernet Sauvignon is the King! There is no easier task than finding a good cabernet in the region largely because the majority are incredible.
More than any other varietal it has propelled the region into the consciousness of wine drinkers around the world. Bordeaux is the cradle of the cabernet, but Margaret River is part of a select band of west coast wine regions across the world that excel at Cabernet.
If you ask any winemakers or locals about this hero wine, you should prepare to get settled in because the passion they have for this rich wine is endless. Thanks to Your Margaret River Region we are able to get all the low down from some of Australia’s most respected makers of Cabernet. Once we got them started it was hard to get them to stop but for a little teaser of what they had to say check out the video below.
