HELMSMAN CABERNET MERLOT 75CL 13%

This is a classic Cabernet Sauvignon with red and black fruits on the nose, fine tannins, great length and persistence, and a medium body. The oak is nicely integrated and the result is a super wine from a splendid vintage.

What to drink with Helmsman Cabernet Merlot? Pair your Helmsman Cabernet Merlot with rich red meats. Thats Beef; cuts like ribeye, short ribs, and brisket, as these offer a deeply savory, buttery flavor due to high intramuscular fat. Beef Steak or Burgers: Grilled ribeye, filet mignon, or a classic cheeseburger match the wine's rich body and structure. Bolognese or Lasagna: Rich Italian pasta dishes with tomato and meat sauces balance the wine's moderate acidity.

Lamb and Mutton, enjoy with fattier cuts like lamb shoulder, as these provide a distinctively gamey, intense, and rich taste. Roast Lamb: Herb-crusted lamb chops or a slow-roasted leg of lamb complement the wine's tannins and savory notes.  Roast Chicken: Prepared with thyme, rosemary, or mushrooms, poultry provides a lighter protein that won't overwhelm the smooth fruit flavors. Hearty tomato-based pasta dishes. A Cabernet Merlot blend combines the bold structure and dark fruit of Cabernet with the softer, plummy smoothness of Merlot. This balance makes it very versatile for food.

Cheese wise, enjoy with our Aged Cheddars and Comte. Avoid young, creamy, soft cheeses (like basic Brie or fresh goat cheese) as the tannins in the Cabernet Sauvignon can sometimes cause a metallic aftertaste when combined with highly acidic, young dairy.
