Inspired by the brightest star in Scorpius, Antares, a 'giant red' which forms the heart of the scorpion.
This intense full-bodied Cabernet has a complex cassis-spiced richness. This is supported by a balanced generous structure that ensures good cellaring potential.

Elegant serious wine, powerful enough to handle venison, roasts, stews and other rich dishes.
