The 2023 Hay Shed Hill Vineyard Series Cabernet Merlot is a classic Margaret River blend, combining Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to deliver a balanced, fruit-driven and approachable style. Sourced from estate-grown fruit from mature vines, it reflects the region’s hallmark structure with easy drinkability. The nose is rich and expressive, showing blackcurrant, blackberry and plum layered with cedar, bay leaf and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth, fleshy texture, offering ripe dark fruit, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity that carries through to a clean, balanced finish. The style is polished and versatile, with a savoury edge and good depth while remaining highly approachable.
