Windmeul Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Deep red, medium bodied wine. The high tannin content of the Cabernet Sauvignon provides good structure to the dark fruit such as black cherries and berries, supporting the tobacco undertones. Smooth and well rounded with an earthy feel.

The Cabernet Sauvignon is especially enjoyed with lamb, red meat and strong flavoured cheese. Also well combined with mushroom dishes.
