Tierra Alta Cabernet Sauvignon 7804320514635

Tierra Alta Cabernet Sauvignon 7804320514635Expressive Cabernet crammed full of varietal character and finesse. Sourced from selected areas of the Central Valley. Relatively cool short fermentation to preserve fruit aroma with maceration on the skins for only a few days to extract nice colour but minimal tannins. Early bottling to keep the wine's youthful style. Bursting with red and blackcurrant fruits, this is a really soft and pure Cabernet with gentle tannins and a hint of green pepper on

Luscious gooseberry aromas follow through into the palate where it explodes with a full on citrus zing that is balanced by fantastic texture and weight

Great as an aperitif or particularly good with tuna steak
