Meinert Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Name: Meinert Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
Brand: Meinert
SKU: 32694

Dense deep fresh red colour. The nose shows red berries, typical Cabernet herbs, spicy toasty oak and tobacco. Mouth filling and weighty but not clumsy on the palate, finishes crisp and lingering.

Should match well with Tuscan style veal, wild boar with truffled mash and of course a well-aged piece of beef, especially reduced rich sauces.

Our soils, which are deep and well drained with high clay content, and the low yields define our wines. Vines receive supplementary irrigation. Average yield 5 tons/ha.

Polished with a light (half an egg per 100 litres) egg white fining and bottled in May 2012.
