Altoona Hills Cabernet Merlot (75cl, 13.5%)

Altoona Hills Cabernet Merlot is a kosher Australian red wine blending Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, produced by Andrew Peace Wines from fruit across South Eastern Australia. The wine is mevushal-certified and flash-pasteurized, making it suitable for handling in kosher observance without restrictions. It combines the structural tannins of Cabernet Sauvignon with the softer, rounder character of Merlot. The aroma opens with fresh mint and raspberry, followed by blackcurrant, ripe plum and subtle oak. The palate is fruit-driven, with blackberry, plum, licorice and dark berry flavours in a silky, medium-bodied texture, and the finish is moderate with lingering dark fruit and a soft, clean fade.
