Out on the patio we sit, this Cabernet Sauvignon is everything that you love about Aussie red wine. This has your eucalyptus, leafy elements as well as blackberry jam on toast which sits perfectly with some gamey kangaroo and a side of spuds. Reschke knows how to put together a wine for rainy days on the patio, that’s for sure!

Origin: It’s believed that the first wines made were in the Médoc region, in the west of France. Mainly Grown In: France, USA, Australia, Italy, Chile, South Africa, Argentina, Spain, NZ… all over, really! Key Facts: Cabernet Sauvignon is truly a globetrotter. Having a 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 Facts: You might have noticed the similarity in names between Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc? They’re related… kind of like 2nd cousins or something.
