NUGAN

Nugan Third Generation Cabernet Sauvignon 2024

Trust your Taste

Blood plum, mulberry and cherry give this Australian Cabernet a generous fruit core. Mint, earth and allspice add a savoury layer, with oak bringing shape to the finish. Try it with a hearty dinner if you enjoy ripe Cabernet with a little herbal character.

How this wine feels

Ripe fruit fills the middle, with a fresh edge and some tannin grip keeping it defined. Mint and earthy spice give the finish a savoury accent. Expect a satisfying red with more shape than a very soft, simple fruit style.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
