Throughout its history, Houghton has built an enviable reputation shaping the Western Australian winemaking landscape. Houghton Cabernet Sauvignon is a medium bodied wine displaying distinctive varietal characteristics of blackcurrant, bay leaf and plummy fruits. Supple tannins and hints of oak provide a savoury dry finish.
