Browse by Grape - Cabernet Sauvignon
Arguably the greatest red grape of France, producing the most majestic age-worthy wines, but also capable of thin and dilute or tough and tannic wine. With its green pepper and blackcurrant character this grape is the master of complexity and forms the backbone of Bordeaux's five First Growths, as well as comprising the majority of most classified 'right bank' wines. Italy's 'Super Tuscan' wines are largely Cabernet based. It is now also producing some of Australia and California's top bottlings, and is proving to be a star another quality producing countries such as South Africa and Chile.

Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah/Shiraz

Syrah is one of Mauricio Lorca's favourite grape varieties; he loves its fickle nature, the bold influence it can bring to a blend and, most of all, the song it sings flying solo. This delicious Syrah packs a big, spicy, chocolate-infused punch in its youth but after a few years in bottle, as here, it mellows into a most sultry and complex wine, a delight if you fancy an askew take on the northern Rhône.

In each of the three ranges from this winery - Serbal, Catalpa and Atamisque - there is a blend, an assemblage. Catalpa Assemblage is comprised of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec in varying proportions depending on the vintage. 60% of this wine is aged for 12 months in new French oak barrels, 40% in stainless steel prior to blending and a further 6 months in bottle prior to release. Crafted in a fairly extravagant style this is a lovely, plump, velvet textured delight with clever use of oak in evidence, capable of developing very nicely for 8 - 10 years.
