McGuigan Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 (Australia)

Description

Blueberry, Oak, Spice

The McGuigan Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon is a soft and fruity wine featuring spiced fruit, plum and blueberry complimented by layers of chocolate and sweet spice. Soft and elegant with generous weight, good length of flavour with a sweet oak finish.

The climate of South Eastern Australia is hot with high evaporation rates and generally low rainfall, making irrigation essential. The cliamte is also continental, resulting in long sunny days and noticeably cooler nights. Modern viticultural and winemaking techniques meant that the climate  can be seen as one of the region's strengths. Long sunshine hours ensure fruit ripens fully and low relative humidity results in little incidence of disease.

This approachable, full-flavoured wine derives from fruit sourced select parcels of fruit were sourced from premier vineyards in South Eastern Australia. The fruit was crushed, de-stemmed and fermentation on oak at cool temperatures for up to 7 days. Post fermentation the majority of the wine is matured in stainless steel tanks with a percentage of the wine transferred to French and American oak before being blended together into this generous, yet elegant red wine.

Food Pairing: This wine is an ideal partner for red meat dishes, especially succulent roast dinners.
