About This Wine
Dita Akello
Cabernet Sauvignon
The Dita Akello Cabernet Sauvignon is a brooding, dark, and complex Australian wine. With hints of minty fruit, a hallmark of Australian Cabernet, balanced by notes of cigar box and spice from a year in barrel, this is a wine to savor. The fruit jumps onto the palate, fresh notes of cassis and red currants dance around the darker and more brooding characteristics. The combination of focused fruit and herbal nuance complement a whole host of pairings. We’ve tried it with a lot of classic red wine pairings and found it does best with juicy meat dishes, think steaks, herbed pork, and even cheeseburgers. Judges love it too! It took home a Silver medal at the 2018 Harvest Challenge.

Optimum ripeness at harvest gives hints of cassis and layers of red currants to add complexity. The primary fruits shine in this wine, and the modest oak influence adds interest in the form of cigar box and brown spices. The result is a combination of focused fruit and herbal nuances.
