Eden Lodge Cabernet Sauvignon (75 cl), €10.00

The wine region of Stellenbosch is situated 50km east of Capetown. It is home to the historic town of Stellenbosch (which dates back to 1679) and the world famous University of Stellenbosch. This region is the second oldest wine region in South Africa and is set in the heart of the Cape Winelands. A warm and dry growing season and a variety of soils results in the production of high-quality wines, mostly reds. Cabernet Sauvignon performs exceptionally well here. Our Eden Lodge Cabernet Sauvignon is vibrant dark purple/ruby in colour with a rich ripe berry nose. Flavours of autumnal fruits follow along with hints of dark chocolate and spicy tones. Enjoy this beautiful Stellenbosch Cabernet on its own or with meat, game and tomato based pasta dishes.

Niel Joubert Cabernet Shiraz (75 cl), €8.59

The Niel Joubert Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz is a delicious wine reflecting the fine art of blending. Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz compliment each other in a full fruity wine, rich berry aromas and elegance. An ideal accompaniment which can be enjoyed with pasta or Beef dishes but just as good on its own!

Niel Joubert Estate Wine Cabernet Sauvignon (75 cl), €12.00

Tasting Notes: This wine leads with dark berry and plum aromas on the nose. There is a gentle herbaceous top note, even with a hint of vanilla. The succulent palate is smooth, carrying the berry fruit to a satisfyingly luscious conclusion. 30% Matured in Old French Oak barrels for 18 months.
