Details
This Cabernet is all about that freshness and bite. Complete with notes of black cherry and blueberry fringed by a hint of graphite, this is an easy-sipping Cabernet with plenty of likeability.
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 its home in Bordeaux certainly helped its rapid expansion, as the Bordelaise (those coming from Bordeaux) are excellent marketers of their products! 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: Cabernet Sauvignon is the most planted wine grape in the world. Seriously. The whole world. Hat's off to the King! (Or the Queen).

Pairing guide
Deeply flavourful and packing a real punch on the palate, this beautiful Cabernet from Borgo dei Filari is a proper red wine lover’s red wine. As such, it’s going to taste fabulous alongside roasted red meats, barbecued cuts like brisket and homemade burgers, and all kinds of steak recipes and powerful accompanying sauces. Slow-cooked stews of beef, lamb, duck and root vegetables will work a treat, and it’s also great with wine-braised lentils and beans, truffled vegetables and all kinds of strong and blue cheeses.
