✨ Technical Specifications
Averys of Bristol has a legendary connection to the vineyards of Australia. In the mid-20th century, the visionary John Avery MW became one of the first British merchants to recognize the immense potential of Australian wines, traveling extensively to forge relationships with pioneering winemakers. This Fine Cabernet Sauvignon is a tribute to that historic bond, sourced from select premium vineyards across South Australia. The region's warm days and cool maritime breezes yield a Cabernet of classic structure, characterized by rich blackcurrant aromas, subtle mint and eucalyptus undertones, and a well-integrated oak profile. It represents a seamless bridge between traditional British merchant curation and vibrant Australian terroir.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in Bristol in 1793, Averys is one of the United Kingdom's oldest and most historic independent wine merchants and négociant houses. Throughout the twentieth century, under the visionary leadership of Ronald Avery and subsequently his son John Avery MW, the firm cemented an international reputation as an adventurous pioneer. Averys was among the very first British merchants to champion Bordeaux's Right Bank estates—introducing Château Pétrus to the UK market—and broke early ground importing nascent New World benchmarks from California and Australia. Operating as a négociant selector, Averys partners closely with family-owned domaines across classic European appellations including Champagne, Burgundy, the Loire, Pfalz, and Rioja. Across its diverse portfolio, the merchant prioritizes expressive varietal clarity, classic regional typicity, and balanced viticulture. Benchmark own-label releases like their Special Cuvée Brut Champagne, Fine White Burgundy, and Fine Riesling showcase Averys' enduring cellar heritage and palate for authentic terroir-driven wines.
