Big Beltie Cabernet Sauvignon, 2021/22, Languedoc-Roussillon (vegan)

When it comes to matching a wine with steak (or other red meat), look no further than this fabulous Cabernet Sauvignon. Rich, ripe, blackcurrant and cassis fruit, with smoky and peppery hints. Ripe tannins and a savoury coffee note with a delicate hint of oak.

Tasting Notes:

The Belted Galloway is without doubt one of the finest cattle breeds. To ensure winter warmth, the Beltie has a double coat of hair rather than the layer of backfat most other breeds require. Their meat is therefore lean and succulent. When it comes to matching a wine with steak (or other red meat), look no further than this fabulous Cabernet Sauvignon. Rich, ripe, blackcurrant and cassis fruit, with smoky and peppery hints. Ripe tannins and a savoury coffee note with a delicate hint of oak.

Specification

Vinification The Big Beltie Cabernet Sauvignon requires perfectly ripe grapes to show its full potential. Xavier looks for the right moment for the harvest of each particular vineyard, ensuring perfect phenolic maturity. The grapes are destemmed, crushed and then sent to maceration for about ten weeks. This long process is ideal to extract the fruity character of the variety. Approximately one third of the blend is aged with half-toasted French oak which adds complexity to the wine.
