Tasting profile and sensory notes
Appearance is a deep ruby with a hint of purple at the rim, signalling ripe red and black fruit on the nose.
Aromas are dominated by blackcurrant and plum, accompanied by hints of red cherry and a touch of herbal lift typical of Cabernet styles.
The palate is medium-bodied with focused fruit, moderate acidity and a tannic backbone that provides structure without harshness.
Finish is clean and persistent, leaving impressions of dark berry and a gentle spiciness that lingers pleasantly.
Pairing and serving suggestions
Serve at 15–20 °C to allow the wine’s aromas to unfold and its texture to feel balanced in the mouth.
This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs well with grilled or roasted beef, where its tannins complement richer cuts and savory sauces.
It also partners nicely with aged cheeses and charcuterie, the fruit balancing salt and fat while the structure cleanses the palate.
For lighter mains, try it with roasted chicken or turkey with herb-forward accompaniments, or enjoy it alongside savoury snacks and tomato-based dishes that echo the wine’s bright fruit and subtle spice.
