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.
