Secret Deal Margaret River Cabernet Merlot 2023

Credaro Wines is a boutique family-owned winery in Margaret River, focused on producing small-batch, premium wines that reflect the region’s elegance and varietal precision. The Five Tales series showcases the estate’s best vineyard blocks, combining depth, finesse, and approachability.

Fruit for the 2023 Cabernet Merlot was sourced from prime Margaret River vineyards, benefiting from gravelly soils and the cooling maritime influence. The vintage featured mild, balanced conditions, producing grapes with concentrated flavour, fine tannins, and vibrant aromatics.

Grapes were hand-picked, fermented in small batches to preserve fruit purity, and matured in French oak to add structure and complexity. Minimal intervention ensured that the natural expression of the blend remained front and centre.

Rich ruby-red in colour. Aromas of blackberry, plum, and cassis are layered with hints of cedar, vanilla, and subtle spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied, showing dark fruits, supple tannins, and a long, refined finish.

Ideal with roast lamb, beef, venison, or aged cheeses. Also pairs well with hearty pasta dishes or grilled vegetables.
