NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Contrary to its crown cap, this Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot blend from a single vineyard in Victoria does not offer a fizzy experience.Instead, it presents itself as a direct and uncomplicated red wine, featuring delightful notes of ripe plums and blackberries, accompanied by savory and peppery undertones. The plush fruit on the palate is embraced by assertive, drying tannins that give the wine a skinsy texture. The finish concludes with an enticing tang of berries, adding to its overall appeal.

ORIGINS
Winery: Konpira Maru
Region: Victoria
Victoria is Australia's premier wine region, located in the south-eastern corner of the continent. With a long history of winemaking, Victoria is home to some of the country's most renowned wineries and vineyards.
Victoria's wine industry began due to the discovery of gold in the 1850s, leading to a influx of settlers from Europe, who brought vines and know-how from home. By 1890, Victoria was producing half of all the wine in Australia, but the spread of phylloxera in the late 19th Century and a number of wider issues, caused a decline. The industry didn't get started again until the 1960s.
