Description

Indulge in the robust character of the Maple Wood Cabernet Sauvignon, a wine that embodies the classic charm of South Eastern Australia. This 2002 vintage showcases the superb depth and aging potential of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape. The wine pours a deep ruby colour and unfolds with aromas of blackcurrant and dark fruit, interwoven with gentle hints of oak, subtle earthy notes and a touch of vanilla coming from the oak ageing process. The palate is structured and robust, with ripe tannins and a smooth, lingering finish. This wine is a testament to the quality and versatility of Australian Cabernet Sauvignon. It can be ideally paired with hearty dishes, such as roasted lamb, grilled steaks, or rich tomato-based pasta dishes. The wine's complexity and structure will complement these dishes well. For a vegetarian option, consider serving it with a mushroom risotto, where the earthiness of the wine will harmonize beautifully with the mushrooms. Allow the wine to express its full potential at a serving temperature of 16°C. While it’s ready to enjoy now, this wine will continue to evolve with further bottle age. Maple Wood is not one of the most known wineries in the region, which allows you to discover something new and exciting.
