Notes from the producer

This wine opens with inviting aromas of violets, dark berries, and subtle notes of dried herbs and cedar. On the palate, it presents a fine balance of red and black fruit, such as blackcurrant, plum, and raspberry, supported by earthy undertones and a hint of tobacco. The texture is smooth and medium-bodied, with finely integrated tannins and well-judged oak that adds spice and structure without overpowering the fruit. The finish is long and elegant, leaving a lingering impression of freshness and finesse.

The St Ignatius Cabernet Blend is a versatile and elegant wine that pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes. Its refined structure and complex flavour profile make it an ideal match for:

• Roast lamb with rosemary and garlic

• Chargrilled ribeye steak or slow-cooked beef ribs

• Roast duck or game meats such as venison

• Aged hard cheeses including cheddar, gouda, and Manchego

• Mushroom risotto or herb-laced lentil stew for a hearty vegetarian option

• Rich pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces or traditional ragu

This wine’s balance of fruit, spice, and tannin complements both classic meat-based meals and robust plant-based dishes.
