Groenland Premium Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

The all-new French oak broadens the palate of this wine, complementing the integrated black pepper and nutty aromas. It is a deep-red wine with well structured tannins and a long finish. The Mediterranean-style climate contributes to the quality of the grapes, resulting in full-ripe concentrated flavors.

Serve chilled between 16° C - 18° C with red meat, oxtail, and hard yellow cheeses.
