Beresford Classic McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 (Australia)

Description

Boysenberry, Oak, Spice

Deep ruby with a tawny hue. On the nose, char-grilled green bell pepper leads the way, joined by blackcurrant and olive tapenade. Notes of tomato leaf and a delicate touch of sour cherry intertwine seamlessly. This is a Cabernet with a distinct personality – bold and robust. Afterwards, a bouquet of fruit aromas takes the spot – prune, boysenberries, and the essence of dark plum. Hints of earthy forest floor nuances lend a layer of complexity, enhancing the aromatic profile. The palate is accompanied by a vibrant juiciness, and the unripened notes fade gracefully, giving way to the warmth of baked spices – black pepper, nutmeg, and sandalwood. The journey continues with flavours reminiscent of the comforting embrace of Christmas pudding. The wine boasts a full body, a gentle acidity, and a tannin profile that surprises for its softness – an unexpected contrast for a Cabernet.

Food Pairing: Braised duck leg pappardelle with parmesan and thyme breadcrumbs.
