De Waal Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

This is a classical, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon. A dark coloured wine, full of flavour, rich black cherry aromas and some herbaceous tones.

This wine shows great balance, a great structure and a long finish.

A wonderful food wine. It will pair very well with beef, venison and lamb.
