Longavi
The Longaví range is a collaboration between Chilean wine producer Julio Bouchon and Cederberg Private Cellar’s winemaker David Nieuwoudt. The idea to make wine together developed over several years as the two friends met at the annual London Wine Fair and tasted each other’s wines, vintage to vintage. Longaví means ‘snake’s head’ and is also the name of a volcanic mountain at the foot of the Andes Mountains that Julio finds particularly inspiring. The vineyards are situated in the Leyda Valley in Chile, a mere 8 km from the cool Pacific Ocean. The first wine, a Sauvignon Blanc, was produced in 2013 and was followed by a Pinot Noir. The Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 was released in 2016. All the wines are made in Chile.
Description
The Longaví Mabo 2016 is a bold, Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend, offering intense aromas of red fruit, blueberries, and a hint of black pepper. The wine is beautifully balanced, with rounded tannins and good acidity, giving it freshness and a long finish.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs well with rich dishes such as grilled steak, lamb, or beef patties. It also complements matured hard cheeses, especially aged Cheddar.
