Wantirna Estate Amelia Cabernet Merlot 2019 is a cool-climate Australian Bordeaux-style blend from Victoria’s Wantirna Estate. It offers a layered nose of blackcurrant, blackberry and plum with cedar and subtle cacao. On the palate, expect a balanced, structured wine with dark fruit depth, integrated oak spice, and fine-grained tannins. It has good acidity and length, with cellar potential. Pairs well with roast lamb, beef dishes, mushroom ragù, and aged cheeses.
