Intro to The Pugilist Cabernet Sauvignon –

The Pugilist Cabernet from Limestone Coast in Australia is an elegant, poised yet rugged and strong wine, it is the epitome of the iron fist in the silken glove.

Full tasting note and wine making –

The Pugilist Cabernet Sauvignon has an array of perfumed characters such as violets, oregano & thyme, along with glacé cherry aromas. Sweet ripe cherry fruit dominates the front palate which then develops into a more savoury wine, showing earthiness, toasted spices and lovely dried herb characters.
The Pugilist Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from two vineyard sites in Langhorne Creek, both of which are above the flood plain. Soils are of sandy loam with some iron rich red soils. Both vineyards are trellised and spur pruned to produce low yields which ensure balance and flavour. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks the wine spends 10 months in French oak barrels.

The producer –

One Chain Vineyards produces two ranges, the Cricket Series and Character Series, One Chain works with growers to source fruit from some of the most established regions of South Australia. Our Character Series has a range of beautifully produced and packaged wines and each wine has great varietal definition coupled with vibrancy and freshness. These are wines that are immediately pleasing, yet authentic expression of the variety and place. The Cricket Series wines are inspired by a love for the Australian national sport. Indeed, the name One Chain is the imperial measurement for 22 yards, or the length of a cricket pitch. However, you really don’t need to be a connoisseur of the game to be bowled over by the restrained, elegant style of the Chardonnay and the bright red fruit and subtle oak of the Shiraz Cabernet.

Drink with –

This is wonderful with roast beef or grilled sirloin.
