Ta’ Betta, Philippe Villiers 2018
Brilliant ruby red with a delicately brightening core. In the nose first of graphite and light leather, then of blackberries and rose hips, reminiscent of sultanas, in the aftertaste rich peppery spice.

On the palate with polished tannins and a delicate creamy course, without missing its tannins, with pressure and a clear fruit core, minimally drying tannins in the finish.

Ta’ Betta Antonio Manoel 2018
Deep, dark ruby red in colour. Initially slightly resinous on the nose, before opening up to reveal notes of Mediterranean herbs, lots of ripe dark berries, fleshy undertones, dried tomatoes and summer truffles.

The palate is tightly meshed, a well-balanced interplay of polished tannins, juiciness, and magnificent dark berry fruit. A wine of great finesse and length.

The palate is very well balanced, with savoury bergamots, lemon preserve, vanilla and a light nuttiness in the background. It is slightly creamy in the mid palate, but delivers a very refined citrus finish.

Celebrating International Cabernet Sauvignon Day!

Perfect Food Pairings with Cabernet Sauvignon Wine

Meat Pairings

Classic Steak: A rich, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon pairs wonderfully with ribeye or sirloin steak. The wine’s tannins cut through the richness of the meat.

Lamb: Try roast lamb with a slightly herbaceous Cabernet. Lamb’s strong flavour is a beautiful match for the bold, fruity notes of the wine.

Cheese Pairings

Aged Cheddar: The sharpness of cheddar contrasts with the wine’s deep flavours.

Gouda or Blue Cheese: The wine’s boldness balances the salty, pungent flavours of blue cheese.

Vegetarian Pairings

Portobello Mushrooms: Grilled or stuffed Portobello mimic the umami qualities of meat and match the intensity of Cabernet.

Roasted Eggplant: The smoky, meaty texture of eggplant is elevated by the tannins and dark fruit in the wine.

Tomorrow is International Cabernet Sauvignon day!

Cabernet Sauvignon, often hailed as the "King of Red Wines," is one of the most renowned and widely planted grape varieties globally. It has a storied history, distinct characteristics, and exceptional versatility that make it a favourite among wine enthusiasts. Let's delve into the rich tapestry of information surrounding this iconic wine.

History and Origin

Parentage: Cabernet Sauvignon is the offspring of two French grapes, Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, a cross that likely occurred in the 17th century in the Bordeaux region of France.

Global Spread: From its birthplace in Bordeaux, it spread across the world, gaining particular prominence in regions such as Napa Valley (USA), Coonawarra (Australia), Maipo Valley (Chile), and Stellenbosch (South Africa).

Key Characteristics

Aroma and Flavour Profile: Typically, Cabernet Sauvignon wines exhibit aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and sometimes hints of green bell pepper, eucalyptus, and mint. With aging, they can develop notes of cedar, cigar box, to***co, and leather.

Tannin Structure: One of the defining features is its strong tannin structure, which contributes to its ability to age gracefully over many years. These tannins can be bold and firm, especially in younger wines.

Acidity and Body: It usually has medium to high acidity and full body, making it a robust and richly textured wine.
