We are thrilled to invite you to an unforgettable evening celebrating the king of grapes – Cabernet Sauvignon! Join us for a spectacular wine dinner where we will explore and savour exceptional Cabernet Sauvignons from renowned wine regions around the world.
As you indulge in each glass, you'll discover the unique character and terroir-driven nuances that make Cabernet Sauvignon so captivating. From the opulent and ripe fruit flavours of South Australia, to the elegant and structured wines of Margaret River, the timeless classics of Bordeaux, and the powerful and robust expressions from California, each region will captivate your palate and ignite your passion for this noble varietal.
In addition to exploring these extraordinary regions, we have a special treat in store for you - a back vintage bracket that will transport you back in time. Savour the rare and exquisite flavours of aged wines, allowing you to truly appreciate their evolution and the beauty of matured vintages.
