Kaiken Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 14% Vol. 0,75l
£9.14
The Kaiken Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 comes from the heart of Mendoza, Argentina’s most important wine region, where the Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety thrives in ideal climatic conditions. The Kaiken winery was founded by Aurelio Montes, one of Chile’s most renowned winemakers, with the aim of combining the best of both sides of the Andes: Chilean expertise and Argentinian terroir.
The vines for this wine grow on stony, well-drained soils at the foot of the Andes, at high altitudes with cool nights and warm days. These conditions ensure slow ripening, intense fruit flavours and an excellent acid structure. After being harvested by hand, the Cabernet Sauvignon is fermented in stainless steel tanks and then matured partly in French oak barrels – which gives the wine structure and finesse without masking the fruit.
Tasting NoteThe Kaiken Estate presents itself in the glass in a deep dark ruby red colour with violet reflections. The nose is dominated by blackcurrants, cherries and cassis, accompanied by fine notes of vanilla, tobacco and black pepper. On the palate, the wine is powerful, balanced and velvety, with ripe tannins, good length and a spicy, fruity finish.
Ideal with grilled beef, lamb, spicy stews, game dishes and mature hard cheeses. Also a pleasure on its own for lovers of intense, structured red wines. Perfect for barbecues, autumnal menus or as a powerful accompaniment to dark chocolate.
