Product Notes

Sauska Cuvée 113 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes from the finest vineyards in the Tokaj wine region of Hungary. The wine is characterized by its deep ruby-red color and complex aroma of black currants, black cherries, and vanilla. On the palate, it boasts a rich, full-bodied texture with well-integrated tannins and a long finish. The wine is aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels, which gives it a subtle hint of oak and spicy notes that complement the fruit flavors. This wine is ideal for pairing with hearty meat dishes, especially grilled beef or lamb.

Tasting Notes

Delicate aromas of pineapple, dried apricot and fresh mint followed by lime and cinnamon on the palate. The wine is fresh and light in the mouth with a vibrant, long finish.
