The Chinkara Cara Cabernet Merlot 2 is hearty new world take on the classic Bordeaux blend, produced in the cool windswept reaches of Victoria. The wine and its producing estate was the vision of Natasha Oberoi who wanted to create an international wine that would pair nicely with spicy Indian fare. And this classic blend succeeds above and beyond, bringing its elegant mid palate and silky tannins to hold up beautifully to the sharp flavours and rich texture of Indian gravies and curries. While Victoria is best known for its fruit forward expression of Burgundian grapes Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon benefits greatly from the additional hang time thanks to moderate temperatures and sufficient sunshine while Merlot thrives in the region?s hallmark maritime climate. This elegant blend exudes flavours of plum, blackberry, and cherry, complimented by soft lingering tannins.
