About this wine
Villa-Lobos Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied, dry red from Serra Gaúcha. Cabernet Sauvignon typically brings blackcurrant, cassis and plum notes, alongside savoury spice and often a touch of oak. Its lively acidity balances the ripe fruit; the degree of oak and tannic grip may vary by vintage.
