Perdeberg The Dry Land Collection Conqueror Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

Colour: Dark purple-red
Bouquet: Hints of prune, black cherry, coriander and blueberries on the nose.
Taste: The palate is structured and broad with rich tannins.

This bold wine is a true reflection of a modern-day Cabernet Sauvignon, showing typical cultivar characteristics with perfumed aromas. It is well known that vines grown under dryland conditions produce red wines which are naturally rich and darker in colour.

This bold wine is best enjoyed on cold winter evenings in front of the fireplace whilst enjoying dishes like beef korma, spiced ostrich steak or oxtail casserole.
