🍷 Appearance
Deep, vibrant ruby to dark crimson in the glass with excellent colour intensity, reflecting the richness and concentration of McLaren Vale Cabernet.
👃 Aroma (Nose)
Perfumed aromatics of violet, vanilla and nutmeg rise from the glass. Classic Cabernet notes of blackcurrant and crushed leaf are layered with hints of toasted marshmallow, mint and subtle spice.
👅 Palate
Rich and expressive with flavours of blackberry, blueberry and plum dominating the palate. Mid-palate layers reveal bittersweet cocoa, dark berry fruit and subtle herbal Cabernet complexity.
⚖️ Structure
Medium-to-full bodied with balanced tannins and a smooth, palate-coating texture. The small portion of Touriga Nacional adds grip and structure while maintaining harmony.
🔚 Finish
Long and satisfying with lingering dark fruit, mint and spice notes, finishing rich and well balanced.
🍇 Overall Style
A bold McLaren Vale Cabernet blend—rich, intense and full-flavoured. The wine showcases classic Cabernet cassis character combined with dark fruit richness and savoury complexity.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Excellent with grilled steak, roast lamb, beef stroganoff, barbecue meats, meat pies, or mature cheeses such as Gruyère.
Cheers
