Felino Cabernet Sauvignon
Felino Cabernet Sauvignon is an elegant and expressive Cabernet Sauvignon from Vina Cobos, one of Mendoza's most celebrated wineries. Founded by renowned winemaker Paul Hobbs in 1999, Vina Cobos focuses on authentic expressions of terroir across Mendoza's distinguished Lujan de Cuyo and Valle de Uco regions. The result is a wine of remarkable balance, texture and character, crafted with meticulous vineyard management and a profound respect for the land. Viticulture The grapes are sourced from vineyards in Valle de Uco and Lujan de Cuyo, situated at altitudes between 2,306 and 3,927 feet. The semi-desert climate, with intense sunlight and significant diurnal temperature variation, contributes to concentrated fruit and distinctive varietal character. Winemaking Fermentation takes place in closed-top stainless steel tanks using a combination of selected and native yeasts. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels to add structure, complexity and aromatic refinement while preserving the freshness of the fruit. Tasting Notes Deep ruby in colour with dark tones, offering aromas of red pepper, fresh red fruits and hints of white pepper. The palate is textured and balanced, supported by fantastically chewy tannins and leading to a satisfying, long finish. Perfect Pairings Pairs beautifully with semi-hard cheeses, pasta with tomato sauce, meatballs, lasagne and skirt steak. An excellent choice for relaxed dining and casual entertaining. Grape Variety 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Musar Jeune Rouge 2022
Chateau Musar Jeune Rouge is a vibrant, unoaked red wine from organically certified vineyards in the western Bekaa Valley, grown at 1,000 metres above sea level. Blending Cinsault , Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon from younger vines, it delivers classic Musar character in a fresher, more approachable style designed for early enjoyment. Why You'll Love It The Musar Jeune range was created to showcase the Bekaa Valley's extraordinary terroir in a more immediate, fruit-driven style. Unoaked and unfiltered, following the same non-interventionist philosophy as the Grand Vin, Jeune Rouge is all about freshness, vibrancy, and drinkability. It is the perfect introduction to Chateau Musar for those new to the estate, and a reliable everyday bottle for those who already know it well. Vineyard & Production Sourced from organically certified vineyards in the western Bekaa Valley at 1,000 metres altitude, where the combination of altitude, limestone soils, and the Bekaa's continental climate produces grapes of natural freshness and intensity. The grapes are fermented in concrete vats at 27-29°C using a non-interventionist approach. The wine is unoaked and unfiltered, preserving the purity and character of the fruit. Tasting Notes Deep purple-beetroot in colour. The nose is dominated by fresh red fruits, strawberries, and cherries, with savoury, earthy depth and hints of spice and black pepper. On the palate, it is elegant and layered with a lively freshness. Designed for early enjoyment but with the structure to develop further with careful ageing. Perfect Pairings Versatile and food-friendly, pairing beautifully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, lamb dishes, and mezze. Also excellent alongside spiced Middle Eastern cuisine, lentil dishes, or simply enjoyed on its own slightly chilled. The Blend Cinsault 50%, Syrah 35%, Cabernet Sauvignon 15%
