Stellar Organics 2014, Cabernet Sauvignon from South Africa can almost look like a Christmas tree with awards recognising their fair trade, organic and also no sulphites added status.
The wine is young and light, but opens up to a more herby, black currant leaf and cassis flavours. These aromas also more aromatic than juicy as with just a few swirls this organic wine gets from rather simple to a more exciting herby blackcurrant garden mix.
Overall, this organic Cabernet Sauvignon is a pleasant young wine, with a lower alcohol 12.5%, yet not lacking in flavour. It is very straightforward and quite simple, hence the price way under £10.
I would suggest you to have a piece of cheddar to counter balance the acidity with fattiness of a cheese and this wine would play just slightly better!
It seems that many retailers thought that it is rather good example of sulphur free (same term as ‘no sulphites added’) wine, so you can source it at Planet Organic, also Abel and Cole, Vintage Roots and many more who stock organic wines.
