Howling Wolves’ “SixPointSix” Cabernáto is uniquely made using only premium cabernet fruit from the world-renowned region of Margaret River, in the Southwest of Western Australia. The fruit is harvested at a low Baume to finely control sugar levels before the bulk of the wine undergoes a special fermentation to dry and naturally control the lower alcohol while retaining a ‘natural’ sugar level of 115g/L. The remainder, which was held on juice, is then added back to create the mouth-filling sweet-yet-dry flavour characteristics of the finished wine with a mid-strength alcohol of just 6.6%.
The viticulture and winemaking practices effectively combine to produce a wine with an extraordinary mouth-filling viscosity layered with a luscious sweetness, seemingly defying its lower alcohol.
- COLOUR: A brilliant, luminous cherry blossom pink
- AROMA: Enticing aromas of fresh, ripe berries and toffee apple
- PALATE: The palate is opulently layered with rich, ripe blackcurrants, fresh-made strawberry jam and tropical passion fruit. All beautifully balanced, with a crisp, refreshing acidity and delicate mouth feel.
- BODY:Light
- FINISH: Finishes with a well-balanced, refreshing acidity. Starts out sweet and finishes dry.
- ALCOHOL: 6.6%
- FOOD: The perfect aperitif on its own or poured over a tall glass of ice, as the wine has been made to enjoy. Add a slice of lime or two and a sprig of mint and create a super-refreshing Cabernáto ‘Mojito’ cocktail. It’s fabulous with canapés and fresh oysters.
