About this wine

This Cabernet Sauvignon from Brazil's Serra Gaúcha region is full-bodied with prominent acidity. Expect flavors of blackcurrant, cherry, subtle spices, and gentle oak undertones. The wine shows lively fruit, a touch of green pepper, and a structured yet approachable style. It can be enjoyed young, though it has the backbone for short-term aging.
