Brookfields Ohiti Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

Brookfields Ohiti Estate Cabernet Sauvignon offers pure aromas of red berry, blackberry and cassis with subtle cigar box notes. The palate is amazingly silky with smooth tannins, revealing layers of blackberry, boysenberry and cassis. The finish is warming with ripe tannins and lingering dark fruit character.

This wine is from the Ohiti Estate vineyard in Hawke's Bay, located on New Zealand's North Island. The vineyard is situated in an inland heat trap that provides excellent ripening conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon. Brookfields Vineyards produces this single-vineyard expression to showcase the concentrated fruit character of this specific site.

Brookfields Ohiti Estate Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with grilled lamb racks, beef Wellington, or slow-cooked beef brisket. The wine's smooth tannins and dark fruit character also complement aged cheddar and other mature hard cheeses perfectly.

Rich meat dishes are ideal companions for this Cabernet Sauvignon. Try it with herb-crusted lamb, ribeye steak, venison, or mushroom-based dishes. The wine's structure and fruit concentration stand up well to bold flavours and charred meats from the grill.

Serve Brookfields Ohiti Estate Cabernet Sauvignon at 16-18 degrees Celsius for optimal expression. Use a large bordeaux-style glass to allow the wine to breathe and fully reveal its complex aromas. While decanting is not essential, 30 minutes of aeration can help soften the tannins further.
