{"product_id":"coriole-songbird-mclaren-vale-cabernet-sauvignon-2024-australia","title":"Coriole Songbird McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2024 (Australia)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 Coriole Songbird Cabernet is highly aromatic, with aromas of mulberry, fresh tobacco, plum and cinnamon quill. The palate has lovely generosity and crunchy textural tannins, showing flavours of cassis, redberries, boysenberry and dark cherry. This is a bright, playful and modern cabernet which will remain fresh in the bottle for some time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSongbird Cabernet Sauvignon is produced from Estate Grown fruit and combines freshness and aromatic lift with classic Cabernet structure. Songbird refers to the huge range of birds that we have in the Coriole gardens, vineyard sand native scrublands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVine growth started relatively early with cool but sunny and dry conditions, followed by a dramatic change from mid-November 2023 to mid-January2024. Wind and rain dictated the summer period, all irrigation was stopped and canopy trimming and leaf plucking was required to ensure sufficient light onto fruit for ripening. In late January, the rain stopped and we had a prolonged dry and warm weather pattern including a mini-heatwave in March. Cabernet looked impressive with great colour and concentration of fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name \"Songbird\" suits this regal yet pretty wine. A great example of what McLaren Vale can do with the often under rated Cabernet Sauvignon. Open fermented in 3-4T batches, gentle hand plunging gives subtle extraction of the classic Cabernet tannins and structure. An approachable wine that will still reward the connoisseur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFood Pairing: Persian cuisine will make this Songbird sing. Accompany your favourite BBQ meat with a roast beetroot salad with date, walnut, Woodside goat chèvre and pomegranate molasses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51334155436349,"sku":"220012724","price":155.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/9211\/5773\/files\/22015-1.jpg?v=1729033435","url":"https:\/\/www.blackmarket.co.nz\/products\/coriole-songbird-mclaren-vale-cabernet-sauvignon-2024-australia","provider":"Black Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
