About the wine
Brilliant SA Cabernet Merlot that you'll keep coming back to
- Back by popular demand, this Angel favourite blend of robust Cab and juicy Merlot gives more and more each vintage! With growing Angel support and room for experimentation, Anna & Derek had another huge opportunity to execute some winemaking wonder.
- With a medium bodied palate of fresh berries, subtle choc-mint and spice, you'll be filling a second glass quickly to make sure others don't get to the bottle first! It has an attractive deep red colour, enticing aromas and soft tannins, all adding up to a crowd pleasing dry wine perfect for any casual occasion.
- Anna & Derek pride themselves on representing nature's most outstanding capabilities through their winemaking. As this drop develops in your glass, each sip will be a new expression of the Limestone Coast's finest local fruit parcels. The whole experience punches well above it's incredibly low price point!
Best before
Although it drinks well as a young wine if you allow it to breath, don't be afraid to let this lay down for a little while to let that cold climate tannin really relax and more tertiary flavours to develop
Serving advice
We do highly recommend you let this wine breathe for 20 - 30 minutes before drinking (as we do with all our reds)... its young, give it time to gather itself!
Food match
No one can go past a good ol' Aussie bbq'd lamb chop with this crowd pleaser! But we think you'll be impressed with whatever you choose to have with this easy drinker!
