New Zealand Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Blends

New Zealand Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Blends - Cabernet Sauvignon performs best in the warmer temperatures of the North Island, for example Hawkes Bay, where good vintages yield fragrant sturdy wines with richness and complexity. Often used to add firmness and concentration to Merlot blends, this style of wine is a good match for rich red meat, such as roast leg of lamb, rare fillet beef or venison casserole.
