Chateau Belgrave,
For laying down,
A high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon (88 percent) goes into this year’s blend, bringing a wealth of juicy black fruit, adding to the character of this suave 2017 Belgrave. Seamlessly textured on the palate with impressively integrated fruit tannins for a young wine, it has attractive flavours of ripe blackberries and cherries that sit on the mid-palate, with good intensity and a streak of salinity through to the finish. A rewarding and delicious effort.
