The 4th in our series of Winter wine virtuals as we dissect the marvel of Cabernet Sauvignon and its related wines.

Following Rhone, Bordeaux & rioja we head to focus on new world wine styles and see what makes the classic Aussie Cabernet tick.

The class is around 2 hours and you receive 6 x100ml wine samples carefully dedicated to show the snapshot of differing styles, winemakers, properties & vintages in one session. Guided notes and a Sommelier are yours for the evening as we debate the why’s, the wheres’s and the how’s of Cabernet and its blends.

The Australian pioneering blends of the 50’s and 60’s were often labelled dry red and essentially blends of Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz. This style is now out of general fashion though other varieties do come into play with these blending techniques. The classic Margret River Bordeaux blend of Cabernet & Merlot, the South Australian Coonawarra Cabs and the less heralded but equally divine Yarra Valley reds will be talking points and perhaps an Old World benchmark for comparison. Whatever the wines we invite you to join us if Cabernet is your thing as we get tannic for the evening with some classic red wines from Australia. Come find out with us why Cabernet learns itself so well to its common blending partners of Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.
