Blue Cutting Road Back in Stock

To the disappointment of many the Blue Cutting Road Cabernet Merlot has been gone from our shelves, but despair no more its back, all the way from the land down under, and it has brought a friend along with it the fabulous Blue Cutting Road Semillon Sauvignon. If you haven't tried the Cab-Merlot, do it a soon as possible and while you're at it check out the Sem-Sauv.

The Cab-merlot has a gentle red colour with ruby hints. Very much a fruit-driven wine, the nose is of ripe grape and cedar, notes of mellow licorice. On the tongue it displays wonderfully balanced flavours of chocolate box assortment and blackcurrant fruit. The palate is layered and flavoursome with vibrant fruit characters, balanced with a finish displaying wonderful fine, long and cedar-oaky tannins.

The colour of the sem-sauv. is a tropically limey pale yellow. A fresh and powerful wine displaying perfume of quince enhanced by the lively tropicals of Sauvignon Blanc. The palate is creamy and long showing great flavour and crunchy fruit length, balanced by natural acidity.
