Food Match – Steak and red wine sounds too obvious a pairing to highlight but sometimes it hits the spot so perfectly it’s worth being reminded there’s nothing better you can eat with a good bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Tasting Notes – Luscious and concertrated fruit flavours beautifully balanced with tannic structure, this is a classic Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon showing intense cassis fruit flavours, covering a broad spectrum from black currant to plum and to plumes, with a long finish on the palate. This wine is made using traditional open fermenters, hand plunged several times a day to extract the maximum flavour and colour and matured in the best oak to compliment the wines structure and complexity. A very good wine to enjoy now or over the next decades.
