Tasting Note

An attractive deep ruby colour leads to an enticing bouquet of blackberry and cassis. Dark fruits continue on the palate with forest fruits and black cherries with a gentle hint of light tannins. The satisfying finish brings the fruit and oak elements together 

Producer

Banrock Station is an Australian wine company with a conscience and is ever mindful of its responsibility to produce wines using sustainable, climate friendly methods. 

The company has now applied these principles and started producing wines in the south of France according to the Wise Wolf philosophy – “One must lead for others to follow”.

Winemaking

This Pays d'Oc IGP wine comes from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in the Languedoc-Roussillon region in the south of France, a sun-drenched area with a Mediterranean climate. The wine was fermented in stainless steel and concrete tanks to preserve fruit flavour. This was followed by fermentation in stainless steel and concrete tanks to preserve fruit flavour. A long maceration on very ripe grapes and aging on American and French oak for at least 6 months ensured a ripe but smooth style.

Fun Fact

Wise Wolf wines are packaged in 95.1% recycled materials that can be recycled again and again. 

The typical virgin glassmaking process uses considerable amounts of energy to produce super smooth transparent glass bottles. Bottles with any tiny bubbles or flaws are rejected and go back again into the smelting process.

Wise Wolf uses recycled green glass (easier to sort and melt than white glass) and special etched moulds so that no bottles are rejected. Apart from the glue for the labels and the capsule liner, all other materials are produced from recycled materials.

Food pairing

This mellow forest fruit red is an ideal partner for charcuterie and cheese platters. Grilled meat dishes work well and it can also handle spiced and sweet & sour Asian dishes
