The Journey Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon Tour

Margaret River is one of the world’s great Cabernet regions. It was initially discovered by Dr John Gladstone. Long ripening seasons, cooling Indian ocean breezes and ancient gravel soils create a Cabernet style that’s refined, powerful and unmistakably Margaret River. For guests who want a day built entirely around premium Cabernet Sauvignon, this curated experience highlights the region’s finest producers and most age worthy wines. These are the Cabernets that define the region’s reputation, elegant, structured and crafted by some of Australia’s most respected winemakers. Below are just some of the standout Cabernets we feature when building a bespoke Cabernet focused private tour.

Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 – Wilyabrup

Moss Wood sits at the top of the Cabernet hierarchy in Margaret River. Their 2022 release is classic Wilyabrup: blackcurrant, bay leaf, graphite and cedar, wrapped in beautifully fine tannins. A benchmark wine with decades of ageing potential and a must-taste for Cabernet lovers.

Howard Park ‘Abercrombie’ Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

Abercrombie is Howard Park’s flagship and one of Australia’s most collected Cabernets. The 2023 vintage is structured, dark and superbly polished cassis, violet, tobacco leaf and mineral drive. A wine that shows the power and precision of WA Cabernet at its peak.

Domaine Naturaliste ‘Morus’ Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 – Wilyabrup

Bruce Dukes has taken Domaine Naturaliste into the region’s top tier, and Morus is his most complete Cabernet. The 2022 vintage is all finesse, mulberry, cocoa, bay leaf and silky graphite tannin. It offers exceptional purity and value in the ultra premium category.

Cullen Wines ‘Diana Madeline’ 2023 – Wilyabrup

Cullen is a biodynamic icon and Diana Madeline is one of Australia’s most celebrated Cabernet blends. The 2023 vintage is fresh, energetic and deeply expressive. Red fruits, violets, earth and soft cedar. More ethereal than powerful, it captures the soul of the vineyard itself.

Flametree SRS Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 – Wilyabrup

Flametree’s SRS Cabernet continues to rise in reputation. The 2023 vintage is plush and beautifully layered: black fruits, dark chocolate, dried herbs and fine French oak. Rich yet refined, it strikes the perfect balance between early enjoyment and long-term ageing.
