Details
This is a lovely Australian Cabernet Sauvignon, with bright blue fruited notes, the ‘Sakura’ Cabernet is a juicy affair, giving out berries in handfuls. It comes together nicely with some structured tannins and a touch of oak.
Windowrie is a pioneering western NSW winery that has cleverly turned their whole world around to become a fully organic and minimal intervention producer with a whole swag of clever wines in their portfolio. Still run by the forward-thinking O'Dea family, this estate has the ultimate desire to 'live in a chemical-free, sustainable environment that reflect where we are and what we believe in. While Canowindra is known as the ballooning capital of Australia, you there's more than hot air here. We like the colourful range of classy wines under the 'Sakura' range and the 'Pig in the House' range is a delightful expression of wines made under the hands-off banner.

Pairing guide
Deeply flavourful, rich in tannins and with impressive length, this Cabernet Sauvignon is a wonderfully expressive example of what the team at Windowrie do best. We loved how well it paired with a classic steak and chips combo, but it’s equally wonderful with all manner of beef dishes ranging from braises to balsamic-slicked skewers of sirloin. Lamb chops with rosemary, cheese and mushroom combos, roast root vegetables with a peppery sauce, and layered potato dishes with blue cheese or truffle will also hit the spot in style.
