Lenton Brae Cabernet Merlot 2021 - Margaret River
Alc: 13.5%
Closure: Screw Cap
Bottle size: 750ml
Available online only
A pretty lift of strawberry blossoms, raspberries, dark cocoa, HB pencil, and vanilla pod. This is a medium-bodied wine that has been designed to exhibit the pretty side of cabernet sauvignon. Initially soft, it grows into a generous core of blackberry, plum, and earthy beetroot. The tannins are fine, graphite like, and chalky.

Producers notes
Bruce and Jeanette Tomlinson established Lenton Brae Estate in 1982. It remains family owned and operated with son Edward the current winemaker.
The site of the vineyard was chosen after a chance conversation with Bill Pannell. Bill was the owner of Moss Wood winery and producing wines that were renowned throughout Australia and overseas. Bill had engaged Bruce to assist with the shire of Busselton’s planning requirements for sub dividing the Moss Wood property.
During a casual chat between the two men, Bill opined that the soils of one of the newly created properties were uniformly excellent and equal to those of the existing Moss Wood vineyard. Suitably impressed, Bruce decided to purchase the property immediately to the north of Moss Wood realising a long held desire to move from Perth to Margaret River. The need to establish a vineyard and winery just happened to be incidental.
The varieties selected for planting in 1982 were Chardonnay, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Pinot Noir was also originally planted but was removed in line with Bruce’s decision to focus Lenton Brae production on the red and white Bordeaux wine styles.
