De Trafford – Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
130.00₾
Tasting notes:
Medium deep, youthful red colour. Bright red berry and dusty spice nose typical of the higher Heidelberg slopes and some fynbos / herbaceous character. Intense, but fine and complex. Elegant, structured palate with plenty of red berry, spice and nuts. Long dry finish. Delicious with most red meat dishes
