Details
This juicy gem from A Grower's Touch is on the smoother and more approachable side of the Cabernet Sauvignon's style spectrum. It opens up with ripe blackberry and brambley blue flavours and a generous layer of vanilla. Certainly a mouthful, but with chummy tannins, and medium acidity. Jammy fruit, subtle chocolate and herbaceous nuances with clove spice that sticks around for the finish.

Origin: It’s believed that the first wines made were in the Medoc region, in the west of France. Mainly Grown In: France leads the way here, with Bordeaux the big one. Also California, South Australia, central and northern Italy, plus Argentina. Key Facts: Cabernet Sauvignon is truly a globetrotter. Having it’s home in Bordeaux certainly helped it’s 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: Did you know that Cabernet Sauvignon is the second most planted red grape in Australia? You probably did since Australia is also one of the biggest consumers of the grape also.

Pairing guide
This Cabernet Sauvignon brings together some truly beautiful jammy and genrous flavours resulting in a wine perfect for pairing with fully-flavoured dishes which pack in plenty of savoury character and depth. We’d love to drink this wine with a nice big plate of ribs, or other flavourful meats, like duck, venison, boar or similar game. However, it would go just as well with pretty much any beef recipe, and would also work wonders with porcini mushrooms, aubergines, red cabbage, and other umami-rich vegetarian dishes, too.
