Garling Abbot's Soul Kagor (75cl, 16%)

Garling Abbot's Soul Kagor is a Moldovan late-harvest dessert wine made from Cabernet Sauvignon, bottled at 16% ABV in a 75cl bottle. It is produced in the traditional Kagor style, a deeply coloured, sweet red wine historically tied to Eastern Orthodox liturgical use. The wine is made by Wine International Project SRL from late-harvest Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown near Ciumai, allowing extended hang time on the vine to concentrate sugars and develop a deep, jammy character. The nose opens with blackcurrant and black cherry, with subtle green bell pepper and darker prune and syrup notes. The palate is lush and sweet, with ripe pear, baked apple, prune and blackcurrant in a viscous, full-bodied texture. The finish is medium-long, with syrupy sweetness, dried fruit and gentle tannic grip.
