Wellington Duke Cabernet 750ml

The DUKE range of wines pays homage to the namesake of the town of Wellington, which was established in 1840 and named in honour of Arthur Wellesley, the 1st Duke of Wellington, renowned soldier, and who defeated Napoleon Bonaparte at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. As a general, he was famous for his stunning defensive skills, and his battle plans are still studied in military academies today. Wellesley later served twice as British prime minister.

TASTING NOTES
Inviting aromas of dark forest fruits, cassis, blueberries and a touch of mint on the nose. The palate has a firm structure, but the tannins are ripe and give excellent support to the fruit spectrum. Juicy and accessible, with subtle wood spice, good freshness and balance.

FOOD PAIRINGS
Beef steak / lamb / pepper-crusted tuna / mushroom-based sauces / aged Cheddar cheese
