Description

The Discovery range is the top-value entry-level range of wines from Bruce Dukes.

These wines give a perfect snapshot of classic Margaret River wine styles with easy drinkability and hugely over-delivering for the dollars.

This is a classic Margaret River Cabernet with rich, supple fruit of blackcurrant, blueberry and bay leaves.

It's the perfect all-rounder Cabernet for a party of one or a party of 6, or just any occasion.

    Smooth and warm

    This wine has been an excellent addition to nights on the couch with Netflix and pasta. Thank you!

95 % Cabernet Sauvignon is framed by 4 % Malbec and 1 % Merlot. Each variety was managed and matured separately in seasoned 225L French oak for 10 months before blending and bottling. The seasoned oak allows for a gentle softening of the wine without the addition of oak tannins, adding to the fruit purity and approachability of this wine. The Malbec and splash of Merlot provide infill and depth to the palate on this traditional translation. A style for those who seek fruit purity on medium density tannins. Perfect BTG.
