Tasting Notes
Appearance
Deep ruby with a vibrant crimson rim — the inviting, classic colour of a well-crafted Australian Cabernet Merlot blend from the Hunter Valley.
Aroma
Inviting and generous — ripe blackberry, plum, and dark cherry lead with subtle hints of cedar and soft spice. Approachable, expressive, and immediately appealing.
Palate
Generous ripe berry fruit leads the palate with a nicely rounded, medium-bodied mouthfeel. Soft tannins and a smooth finish make this an approachable, crowd-pleasing red that is equally rewarding by the glass or the dozen.
Pairs With
Rothbury Estate Cabernet Merlot is a natural companion for barbecued meats, wood-fired pizza, pasta with rich tomato or meat-based sauces, and aged cheddar — a versatile, food-friendly red for any occasion.
