Masterstroke Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

In celebration of Australia Day, Wine Australia hold a huge tasting in London to showcase the quality and diversity of Australian wine. At the event held in January 2023, the 2016 Masterstoke was our Wine Buyer Bryan Rodriguez’s wine of the show. And we're expecting the same reaction from this 2019 big red. Expect a distinct expression of mint chocolate with touches of spice, blackcurrant and cedar tobacco notes from French oak maturation. Masterstroke is one of the newest ranges to be released by Wakefield Wines. This is where they pay tribute to the regional discoveries and innovative decisions that have shaped the course of Australian winemaking. This wine is an homage to the great blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz . The real masterstroke will be hiding a couple of these in the cellar and forgetting about them for a while. But if you can’t resist it now, then serve with something slow-cooked and hearty, such as chunky pasta with a rich ragù. Inspired by his love of Bordeaux’s Médoc and the fine terroir of South Australia’s Clare Valley, Bill Taylor founded his winery on the banks of the Wakefield River in 1969. He entered his inaugural Cabernet Sauvignon vintage into the Royal Adelaide Wine Show in 1973 and picked up the prestigious Montgomery Trophy for best red wine in show. Fast forward fifty years and Bill’s grandson Mitchell Taylor now runs Wakefield Wines and they’ve received more than 2,000 medals and awards over the intervening years.
