Originally identified and reserved for the express purpose of growing only the finest grapes and crafting world class wines, the Watershed vineyard is endowed with the most idyllic viticultural and climactic conditions, for realizing harvests of the most splendid Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Shiraz. Crafted by one of Margaret River's most experienced winemaking teams and assembled into a single wine, Shades is brimming with aromatic fruit and replete with ripe, stylish tannins.
The omnipresent maritime breezes which invigorate Watershed's vineyards, maintain a stable temperature and favourable clime under the otherwise pleasantly warm Margaret River skies. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Shiraz grapes are crushed and inoculated, vinified and matured under a combination of fine grained oak barrels, to soften tannins and infuse complexity, whilst preserving the fruit driven core.
TASTING NOTES
Deep scarlet colour. Intense aromas of blackberries and licorice, strawberries and plum with hints of herb and vanilla notes. On the palate, the sweet berry and chocolate flavours are completed by a soft round texture finishing with fine velvety tannins. Enjoy with chorizo sausage recipes or your favourite cut of lamb.

More About Watershed Winery
Watershed is a dividing rise of land between two bodies of water. Watershed means to go to a new and higher level of understanding, an awakening
The Watershed label was designed by Roland Butcher and incorporates a purple room with a four paned window on the wall. Green vines can be seen looking out of the window, however, the main focus is a ray of light streaming through the glass and diffusing across the floor, symbolizing a human being’s stream of consciousness - a creative but almost uncontrollable thought process, spurred on by small inspirations, all leading to a final revelation, or awakening.
