Winshaw Charles Winshaw 2022
R350,00
The Cabernet Sauvignon Blend is a full body wine. The aromatics are rich and powerful, packed full of sweet tobacco, earthy black currant, grilled herbs, iodine and graphite spice. The palate shows great generosity and fleshy opulence with layers of black and blueberry fruits, cherry tobacco, buttered brown toast and salty liquorice on the finish.
