Details and technical informations about Winery Xabregas's Cabernet - Merlot.
Discover the grape variety: Humagne rouge
Structured, wild reds with a sustained ruby robe, firm tannins and fresh alpine acidity, with aromas of red fruit (cherry, raspberry), violet, garrigue, spice, dried herbs and characteristic animal notes. Dense palate, fine ageing potential. Star of the great Valais reds on the sun-drenched slopes of the Swiss Rhône (Sierre, Salquenen, Chamoson). Autochthonous Aosta Valley variety, identical to Cornalin d'Aoste in Italy, with no genetic link to Humagne Blanche.

The wine region of Mount Barker
Flagship subregion of Great Southern in Western Australia: signature Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon as king varieties — chiseled and taut Riesling with intense citrus and herbaceous notes, 10+ year aging. Cabernet of deep colour and powerful structure, briary austerity when young. Shiraz with signature peppery, spicy style evoking northern Rhône (liquorice, black cherry). Pinot Noir also noted.
The wine region of Australie de l'Ouest
Australian premium on Margaret River. Signature Bordeaux Cabernet-Merlot blends in red: deep and refined with notes of ripe blackcurrant, eucalyptus, cedar and graphite, firm tannins and great ageing, often compared to Médoc. Chardonnay rated Australia's best: taut, saline and mineral (lemon, hazelnut, brioche). Lively Sauvignon-Sémillon (citrus, cut grass).
The word of the wine: Solera
A method of maturing practiced in Andalusia for certain sherries, which aims to continuously blend older and younger wines. It consists of stacking several layers of barrels; those located at ground level (solera) contain the oldest wines, the youngest being stored in the barrels on the upper level. The wine to be bottled is taken from the barrels on the lower level, which is replaced by younger wine from the upper level, and so on.
