Winemaker's Notes
Lovely clear yellow in colour with brilliant glints. Powerful nose with intense aromas of acacia flowers and white fleshed fruits. Smooth and full on the palate with notes of citrus fruits, melon and white fruits and superb balance between freshness, smoothness and richness. Enjoy as an aperitif, with seafood tapas, grilled fish, fish in creamy sauce and with cheese–especially goat’s cheese.

Winemaker's Notes
A beautiful deep red colour with a hint of blue. The nose is powerful with notes of black fruit and spices with a dash of vanilla and cloves. At the start, the mouth is rich and velvety. The intense concentration is carefully balanced by the freshness and the delicacy of the tannins. Enjoy this Cabernet Sauvignon as an aperitive, with duck and olives or with a lamb curry.
