Details
Classic Spanish Cab here folks! This is dense and ripe, with lovely, attractive juicy fruit and plenty of blackberry appeal! We love it, with all its primary fruit drive, this is a wine of indulgence and character.
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 its 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 Fact: You've probably met Cabernet Sauvignon's half-sister… Merlot! If not... then it's probably time for a family reunion!

Pairing guide
Seeking a boldly flavoured red wine for pairing with all your favourite umami-bomb dinners? Look no further - this punchy Cabernet Sauvignon has all the depth and body you could ask for. It’s a great choice for steak night, as this wine with a sirloin, ribeye or T-bone served with a piquant mustard, wild mushroom or peppercorn sauce is never going to miss the mark. It’s also great with deeply flavourful green lentil dishes, garlic-slicked kale and other bitter greens, strong blue cheeses like stilton, and nostalgic favourites like lamb’s liver and onions. Who could ask for more?

Wine region
Castilla-La Mancha, Spain
La Mancha is a wine region in Spain known for its hot and dry climate, high altitude vineyards, and significant grape production the top sub-regions are Almansa, Jumilla, and Manchuela, each with its own unique wine styles. The terroir across these regions can be characterized by the high chalk content of its soil, which helps to retain moisture during the arid summers. The top wine styles produced in La Mancha are primarily red wines made from the Tempranillo grape, including the well-known Crianza and the top tier Reserva styles, as well as Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. However, the region also produces some white wines made from the fruity Airen grape, which is a native varietal of La Mancha and one of the most widely planted white grape varieties in the world.
