Case of Paserene Marathon Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes

The Marathon 2019 is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is deep black to red, black in colour which is a true testimony of the quality and condition of the hand sorted berries which made it into the cellar. Intensely perfumed. Aromas of black currants, lilac, creme de cassis with black peppercorns. On the palate the sheer size of the wine is evident. The tannin, fruit and alcohol is in perfect harmony. Put this wine in your cellar for at least 5 years before opening. It will last for the next 50 years if cellared correctly.

Food Pairing

With a red wine as robust and intricate as the Marathon, it is well paired with fatty meat like grilled lamb with plenty of rosemary or a marbled ribeye fresh from the barbecue. Duck or other game birds are an ideal match for the juicy, sweet berry notes in the wine.

Aged, semi-hard cheeses like gouda and cheddar have enough flavour to hold their own against this bold red. If you prefer a more gourmet approach, a herb-encrusted sheep’s milk cheese will enhance the herbaceous notes in the Marathon. Roasted, salted nuts are the perfect snack partner.
