The Chic – Cabernet Sauvignon
2017
Ulupna Domain Label
The Chic -“You know you are drinking a Cabernet Sauvignon when you drink Ulupna Cabernet Sauvignon”. A down to earth stylish wine capturing the formal characteristics of the grape variety and the fun driven creativity of the chic Australian attitude.
Medium ruby with a pink edge. The nose begins with tutti-frutti and blackcurrant lollies, opening into a light tomato-leaf character and ripe blackberries; further airing produces classic blackcurrant and blackberries with aromas of vanilla, toast, and red plums. On the palate, blackcurrants and simple red fruit, particularly cranberries, cherries, and red berries, with a long finish. Medium-bodied, with tangy acid and very soft tannins.
