Duke Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
Duke wines are part of the Wellington Wines stable, a producer that crafts accessible, fruit-driven wines reflecting the unique terroir of the fertile valley around Wellington. The range takes its name from the Duke of Wellington, famed for his decisive leadership and strong character - traits the winemakers aim to echo in approachable, well-balanced wines. Cabernet Sauvignon from Duke is made in a medium-bodied, easy-drinking style without heavy oak influence, focusing on clean varietal expression.
Colour:
Deep plum red with youthful ruby hues.
Nose:
Lifted notes of blackberry and ripe prune sit alongside hints of tomato leaf, graphite dust and a touch of fresh herbs, suggesting a classic Cabernet aromatic profile.
Palate:
Medium-bodied with fine, granular tannins supporting a plush fruit spectrum. Juicy red cherry and subtle roasted coffee-bean notes are balanced by fresh acidity, making it accessible and easy to enjoy.
Finish:
Dry and elegant, with lingering red fruit and gentle spice that leave a clean, satisfying impression.
- Food Pairing : Duke Cabernet Sauvignon 2023’s approachable tannins and vibrant red-fruit character make it a versatile partner for everyday fare. It pairs beautifully with grilled beef steak or lamb chops, where the wine’s fruit and acidity balance richer proteins and savoury char. A pepper-crusted tuna steak or mushroom-based sauces also complement the Cabernet’s subtle herb and graphite notes. For cheese, a mature cheddar brings out the wine’s gentle spice and red fruit flavours without overpowering them.
