“In this series we bring you our #FavouriteThings Holiday Gift Suggestions
which we personally recommend”
For your entertaiiing pleasure we suggest a full bodied wine that takes the chill out of the season. Think relaxing in front of a roaring fire, perhaps shared with friends. It’s a wine made for hearty winter fare, like short ribs or Roasted beef with all the trimmings. Let your imagination take you to your happy place this holiday season with Pepperjack Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon.
Pepperjack Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon
Pepperjack Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon parcels, sourced from premium vineyards throughout the Barossa. Pepperjack Cabernet Sauvignon offers bright red and blue berry fruit flavours and fine talky tannins. The fruit is fermented for up to 14 days, then aged for 12 months in a mix of French and American oak. Individual parcels of fruit are matured separately to maximise the blend’s complexity and finalised through a selection process.
The resulting wine is rich and concentrated with distinct varietal leafy notes. The palate is plush with flavours balanced by fine, textural tannins. This wine can be enjoyed now but will also improve with careful cellaring.
Examples of great pairings: Grilled Steak, Roast Beef, Rack of Lamb, Lamb Shank, Osso Bucco, Sharp Cheddar
$23.99 currently on sale at $20.99 until December 27th at 41 BC Liquor Stores
