Peter Thompson Virtue Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 from Coonawarra on South Australia’s Limestone Coast is a full bodied, classic regional cabernet made to showcase blackcurrant fruit, fine tannins and that trademark Coonawarra line. Fruit is drawn from four family owned vineyards on the famed terra rossa over limestone, giving both richness and freshness in the glass.

In style, Virtue Cabernet is all about ripe cassis, black berry fruit and subtle leafiness, framed by soft but structured tannins and supportive oak that adds spice without dominating. You can expect a dry, richly fruited palate with good depth, a balanced acid backbone and a long finish that will handle a few more years in the cellar easily.

This Peter Thompson Virtue Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is a natural alongside roast beef, lamb, hearty stews or a serious cheese board, where its black fruit, structure and Coonawarra freshness really come into their own. It is a smart, regionally true cabernet from a family producer.
