The Big Beltie Cabernet Sauvignon requires perfectly ripe grapes to show its full potential. They look for the right moment for the harvest of each particular vineyard, ensuring perfect maturity. The grapes are destemmed, crushed and then sent to maceration for about ten weeks. Approximately one third of the blend is aged with half-toasted French oak which adds complexity to the wine.
Rich and deep red, this wine showcases ripe blackcurrant and cassis fruit. Subtle smoke and pepper notes follow. You’ll find ripe tannins and a savoury coffee note with a delicate hint of oak. Try with steak, roast beef, hearty stews and mushroom dishes.
