Joint Cabernet Sauvignon Tasting, with the South African Wine Society.
The Albany Club, September 9, 2008
Cabernet Sauvignon, the worlds’ most renowned red wine grape, with its roots in Bordeaux, has been planted in Australia since 1832 and since the late 20th century in South Africa . In more recent years the South African Cabernet blends have come to enjoy a greater status than wines made solely with Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Sauvignon was Australia’s second most planted vine variety with more than 71,600 acres in 2004. We have two distinct wine growing countries to explore, and eight wines to taste four Cabernets and four blends, two from each country.
The Australian Wine Society (AWS) of Toronto is a not-for-profit organization devoted to the enjoyment of the wines of Australia. Through exposure to, and education about the wines and wine regions of Australia, the Society seeks to encourage, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, a greater awareness of the wine varietals, the diversity and the styles of Aussie wines. The opportunity to try a wide range of wines makes it easier for members to decide what types they might want to purchase through wine agents, the LCBO, Vintages monthly releases and the Classics Catalogue.
