River Retreat CABERNET SAUVIGNON

Winemaking
Harvested at full ripeness the grapes were crushed and fermented on skins for 7 days with regular pump-overs to extract colour and flavour. After pressing the wine was aged with select French oak before blending and bottling. 

The Wine
Deep purple in colour with aromas of blackcurrant and licorice.  Flavours of sweet dark berries and plums are persistent and balanced with subtle savoury French oak characters.  Full, rich and soft.

With Food
A great match with red meats and full flavoured tomato based pasta dishes.
