Evans & Tate Wild Cape Cabernet Sauvignon 2024

Tasting Notes

• Colour – Deep purple-black with a vibrant purple rim, suggesting youth and vibrancy.

• Aromas – Perfumed and lifted with ripe dark fruits, savoury spice, and earthy undertones.

• Palate – Blackberry, black olive and dry earth, with a hint of leafiness and fine, dry tannins bringing structure.

• Finish – Long and focused, with a fine mineral thread and gently chewy finish.

Food Pairings

• Roast Lamb – Ideal with rosemary and garlic lamb, bringing out the wine’s herbal and savoury edge.

• BBQ Meats – Juicy enough to handle chargrilled steaks, ribs or gourmet burgers.

• Mature Cheddar – Try with aged cheddar or a semi-hard cheese for a perfect tannin balance.

• Hearty Vegetarian – Excellent with mushroom risotto, lentil stew or roasted eggplant dishes.

Awards

• 91 Points – James Suckling (2023) – “Ripe raspberries, dark cherries, sweet spices and chocolate… Medium-bodied with chalky tannins and vivid acidity.”

• 91 Points – The Real Review (2023) – “Mulch, spice, blackberries… elegant in its delivery, over-delivers on its price.”

• 91 Points – Ray Jordan Wine Guide (2024) – “Fully ripe and juicy… bay leaf, chocolate, olive… minerally graphite nuance.”

• 90 Points – Shanteh Wale, Wine Pilot (2024) – “A witches brew of spice and dark fruit… juicy with savoury oak tannins. A lot here for the price.”

• Silver Medal – Sydney Wine Show

Winemaking & Natural Practices

• Hand-Selected Fruit – Harvested in the cool early morning to preserve aromatic freshness.

• Cold Soak Fermentation – 5 days on skins before fermentation, extracting gentle tannin and complexity.

• Thoughtful Oak Use – Aged for 14 months in French oak, with only 15% new oak to maintain balance and elegance.

• Malbec Magic – 11% Malbec adds lift, colour and plushness to the final blend.

Storage & Serving Tips

• Best Serving Temperature – Serve slightly below room temperature, around 16–18°C.

• Storage – Drink now or enjoy over the next 3–5 years to capture its vibrancy and freshness.

• Decanting – Not essential, but 30 minutes in a decanter or glass can soften and open up the wine.

I've been ordering from Partners in Wine for three years now - from the UK for my sister living in Perth. Each time they've been bang on with my order including  on time delivery. Kirk has also helped me select my wines from an extensive list.  A very pleasant and friendly company to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
