This Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon is a prime example of the region’s elegant yet powerful style, known for producing some of Australia’s finest Cabernets.

• Appearance: Deep, inky ruby red.
• Nose: Intense aromas of blackcurrant, cassis, and dark plum dominate the nose, with underlying notes of mint, eucalyptus, and cedar. There are also hints of tobacco, dark chocolate, and a subtle spice from oak ageing, giving it complexity and depth.
• Palate: Full-bodied with firm yet fine-grained tannins and well-balanced acidity. The palate is rich and concentrated, with layers of blackcurrant, blackberry, and ripe plum, complemented by herbal notes of mint and sage. The oak adds structure, along with flavours of cedar, vanilla, and a touch of mocha. The wine’s vibrant acidity keeps it fresh, while the tannins provide a long, structured finish.
• Finish: Long and persistent, with lingering notes of dark fruit, cedar, and a hint of dark chocolate.

Pairing: Perfect with grilled steak, lamb dishes, or robust stews. It also pairs well with aged cheddar or blue cheese.

Serving suggestion: Serve at 16-18°C and decant for about an hour before serving to unlock its full potential.
