When norwegian armador (shipowner) Dan Odfjell founded his winery, he embarked upon an adventure filled with challenge and promise. “Orzada” is a nautical term for sailing up against the wind before setting a direction – the Orzada wines reflect the attitude to staking a course in pursuit of beautiful and memorable wines.
Odfjell Orzada Cabernet Sauvignon
Odfjell, Orzada, 750 ml
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Viña Odfjell, Central Valley
Composition: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Carignan
Vintage: 2010
Oenologist: Arnaud Hereu
Pairing: This wine loves meat grilled dishes, as the nature of the meat mirrors the bitter edge of tannins in the wine. Ideal with read meats and poultry with elaborate preparations. Serve at 16-18°C (60-68°F).
Tasting notes:
Colour: Attractive deep ruby red colour.
Aromas: The concentrated nose displays notes of ripe fruits such as dried figs and blackberries, as well as aromas of mushrooms. Additional notes of coffee and vanilla are a perfect complement.
Palate: The palate is full-bodied and well structured, with a perfect balance between fruit, oak and soft, velvety tannins. The long and complex finish is harmonic, with pleasant acidity.
