Details
Made from organic Margaret River Cabernet grapes, this is a full-bodied, fancy red wine we've snagged as an absolute bargain! Rich dark chocolate and dark berry flavours overflow from your glass like Mentos in a Diet Coke, and then long tannins that go on for days! Drink now, or forget about them in the wine rack and drink in ten years time (it will still be great then)!
Origin: It’s believed that the first wines made were in the Médoc region, in the west of France. Mainly Grown In: France, USA, Australia, Italy, Chile, South Africa, Argentina, Spain, NZ… all over, really! Key Facts: Cabernet Sauvignon is truly a globetrotter. Having a home in Bordeaux certainly helped its rapid expansion, as the Bordelaise (those coming from Bordeaux) are excellent marketers of their own product! Now found in almost all wine-producing countries of the world, Cab Sav is traditionally full-bodied, loaded with plenty of dark fruit (think blueberry and blackberry) and backed up by a zing of herbal/grassy kind of flavours. It’s also known for its strong backbone of tannin – that furry, drying sensation you sometimes get with red wines. Cabernet has plenty of it, but is still a smooth talker regardless. Fun Facts: You might have noticed the similarity in names between Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc? They’re related… kind of like 2nd cousins or something.

Pairing guide
We love a good bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon with our dinner, not least when big, bold and punchy flavours are on the menu. You really can’t beat a full-bodied bottle like this one from Moss Brothers, and paired with a juicy steak and homemade peppercorn or wild mushroom sauce, it really is an absolute champion of a red wine. Other recommended pairings would include game meats, strong cheddar or blue cheese recipes, garlic kale, broccoli or Brussels sprouts, and eggplant with parmesan or an umami-rich miso glaze.
