Appearance: Deep ruby red with purple tinges at the rim, showcasing its youthful vibrancy and intensity.

Aroma: The nose is full of ripe blackcurrants, cassis, and dark cherries, layered with notes of tobacco leaf, cedar, and a hint of eucalyptus. Subtle aromas of dark chocolate and spice add complexity, with a faint earthy undertone.

Taste: Medium to full-bodied, the palate bursts with juicy flavours of blackcurrant, plum, and dark berry compote, balanced by finely grained tannins and a fresh, vibrant acidity. The wine’s savoury elements, such as cedar and tobacco, blend beautifully with a hint of dark chocolate and spice, giving it depth and structure.

Finish: Long and smooth, with lingering black fruit, spice, and a touch of herbal freshness that adds complexity to the finish.

Food Pairings: This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs excellently with grilled lamb chops, where the wine’s bold fruit and tannins complement the richness of the meat. It also works well with beef burgers topped with blue cheese, where the wine’s intensity balances the savoury and creamy flavours.
