Watershed's superior vineyards span across an immense area of the choicest soils on Margaret River, the best eighty hectares were established from the ground up, with a view to vintage the most spectacular wines in the Australian west, the finest parcels of estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon are assembled for the Awakening.
Watershed Vineyard is situated five kilometres south of Margaret River at the intersection of Darch Road and Bussell Highway, the major arterial road for traffic travelling to and from Margaret River township. The Watershed property enjoys extensive Bussell Highway frontage, its closely managed vineyards yield the most intensely flavoured harvests of Cabernet Sauvignon. Grapes are all picked and hand sorted, following macerations and the crush, components are inoculated and treated to a combination of fermenters, followed by eighteen months maturation in a mix of the finest French oak barriques.
TASTING NOTES
Deep scarlet colour. Complex aromas of liquorice, choc mint and black currant with hints of mocha. On the palate, the dense velvety texture is complemented by cigar box, black olive notes followed by fine silky tannins from extended ageing under fine French oak. Awakening is drinking beautifully upon release, an outstanding Margaret River to accompany grilled meats, game or lamb.

More About Watershed Wines
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.
