Douloufakis 'Aspros Lagos' Cabernet Sauvignon
Aspros Lagos translates to White Hare a reference to the stunning small white flowers that appear on the dry stone walls that surround the vineyard. The fruit of the 'asperoula' is the Hares' favoured food! This Cabernet has a beautiful deep purple hue, its vanilla and leaf aromas are characteristic of a top Bordeaux Cabernet Franc dominated wine. The palate thoroughly underlines the wine's excellent pedigree. Plump blackcurrant, vanilla and crushed plums with glimpses of tannin, tobacco and leather. Surrounded by refreshing acidity, this is world class Cabernet Sauvignon!
