Cabernet Sauvignon

VINIFICATION AND PRODUCTION SYSTEM: Grapes were picked from eight different vineyard blocks. The wine was matured in a combination of 40% new and 60% second- and third-fill 300-litre oak barrels for 18 months before being bottled. ORGANOLEPTIC DESCRIPTION: Dry, full-bodied red wine. COLOUR: Intense plum with a vibrant ruby edge. BOUQUET: Opening with rich, dark berry fruit at its core and a savoury edge of wild herbs, graphite and cedar. The wine is dense and brooding with plump blackcurrant fruit moderated by a backbone of fine-grained, grippy tannins, creating lovely tension and succulence. TASTE: Beautifully balanced and stylish with classic cultivar expression. The savoury finish is long and satisfying. SERVING TEMPERATURE: Room temperature, 16–18°C (60–64°F). PRESERVATION: Can be enjoyed from the year of release, with ageing potential of up to ten years.

Perfect with ribeye steak, grilled or slow-cooked lamb with rosemary and thyme, braised beef short rib, char-grilled cheese burgers, mature cheddar and gouda, and creamy blue such as gorgonzola.
