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
Vergelegen Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Cabernet Sauvignon is the most prolific planting at Vergelegen, with vineyards spanning diverse soils and altitudes. The Reserve bottling highlights the expression of the estate’s deep red Hutton and Oakleaf soils. Winemaking Fermented in small open and closed tanks at controlled temperatures, the must is pumped over every six hours for optimal colour and tannin extraction. The wine is matured for 16 months in French oak barrels (40% new, from Taransaud, Darnajou and Sylvain) before blending and bottling. Tasting Notes A wine of depth and structure, showing blackcurrant, ripe plum and spice layered with plush leather and oak. Concentrated and complex, it offers excellent ageing potential but can also be enjoyed in its youth. Food Pairing Outstanding with roast lamb, venison or mature cheeses.
