Overview

Askerne Dessert Cabernet 2021 is a luxurious and rich fortified wine, made from the finest Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown on the stony, sandy lower terrace of Askerne Vineyard. Handpicked at the peak of ripeness, the fruit undergoes a brief fermentation, which is then halted with the addition of alcohol, preserving its natural sweetness. Aged for 14 months in older French oak barriques, this dessert wine captures the essence of ripe fruit while showcasing a complex yet approachable profile. The combination of residual sugar and carefully managed fermentation enhances the fruit’s innate aromatics, creating a decadent and sophisticated dessert wine experience.

Tasting Notes

Askerne Dessert Cabernet 2021 delights the senses with an irresistible bouquet of dark berries, liquorice, and warm spice, enveloped in the smooth embrace of oak. The palate is sumptuous and fruit-forward, with rich, ripe flavours that harmonise with subtle hints of liquorice and spice. Its velvety texture and balanced sweetness make it an ideal companion to indulgent desserts, particularly dark chocolate. The wine's lingering finish is as decadent as it is memorable, leaving a lasting impression of luxurious sweetness and depth.
