South African Anthonij Rupert Cabernet Sauvignon Wine 750ml, Alcohol Content 14.5% Vol Free Shipping
罗伯特赤霞珠干红葡萄酒
Understated aromas of dark fruitcake, cherry blossom and subtle violet perfume with just a hint of cocoa powder. Impressive cohesion of nose and palate with those same fruitcake, cherry and violet notes being found in the mouth. Bright, lively and juicy but wonderfully dry and structured with impressive refinement. There’s a good frame of oak around the fruit adding grip and length. Everything is balanced by fresh acidity, making for
a rewarding, rounded mouthful. A long and generous wine.

Each batch is cold-soaked for a few days and then slowly brought up in temper- ature. Fermentation takes place naturally in the large wooden tanks. The wine is then aged for 24 months in 80% new French oak. After bottling the wine is finally bottle-aged for another 24 months.
