Warm-hearted and full of life, this medium-bodied South Australian Cabernet from a vineyard in Adelaide has plenty of tannins and no shortage of dark fruit. It's red wine for BBQs and drinking in a jumper, all the while enjoying all the blackberries, chocolatey hints and the long finish.

Origin: It’s believed that the first wines made were in the Médoc region, in the west of France. Mainly Grown In: France leads the way here, with Bordeaux the big one. Also California, South Australia, central and northern Italy, plus Argentina. Key Facts: Cabernet Sauvignon is truly a globetrotter. Having its home in Bordeaux certainly helped its rapid expansion, as the Bordelaise (those coming from Bordeaux) are excellent marketers of their own product! Now found in almost all wine-producing countries of the world, Cab Sav is traditionally full-bodied, loaded with plenty of dark fruit (think blueberry and blackberry) and backed up by a zing of herbal/grassy kind of flavours. It’s also known for its strong backbone of tannin – that furry, drying sensation you sometimes get with red wines. Cabernet has plenty of it, but is still a smooth talker regardless. Fun Fact: Langhorne Creek and the Barossa Valley in South Australia are home to some of the oldest Cabernet Sauvignon vines in the world!
