Avontuur Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Name: Avontuur Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
Brand: Avontuur
SKU: 39872

Aroma: The nose shows upfront black currant and ripe strawberries with hints of cedar wood and vanilla from the wood ageing.
Flavour: Typical example of an elegant Helderberg region Cabernet Sauvignon with fruit following through from the nose. Grippy tannins give the wine backbone and leaves the taster with a well-balanced, full-bodied experience. Good ageing potential.

Fillet or Rump steak with a red wine reduction or any other full-flavoured red meat dish.
