La Motte Cabernet Sauvignon

Initial aromas of red berries which leads through to layered profiles of Sour cherry, flint and leather, rounding o into a plummy richness on the mid-palate and finishing o with soft, velvety tannins

Launched with the 1990 vintage in 1993, Bin 407 was developed in response to the increasing availability of high quality cabernet sauvignon fruit. Inspired by Bin 707, Bin 407 offers varietal definition and approachability, yet still with structure and depth of flavour. Textbook cabernet sauvignon, the varietally expressive Bin 407 highlights the rewards of Penfolds multi-region, multi-vineyard blending, with a core of ripe fruit supported by sensitive use of French and American oak.

A robust barrel-matured wine with lavish flavours of dark berry fruit and luscious chocolate mingling with herbal touches and a hint of anise seed on the layered complex finish. A youthful wine ready to drink now, but can be cellared.

The colour is deep purple. On the nose you get prominent notes of ripe cherries, blueberries and espresso. The mid-palate is juicy with intense flavours of plums, pomegranate, berries and dark chocolate. This wine is also versatile with food. This Cabernet goes well with braai meats, steak, meaty pastas, smoked chicken and pork.
