2021 Black Sheep Cabernet Mitos Club 750ml

This eminently drinkable red wine is nicknamed “The Wolf’s Blood”.  The Cabernet Mitos cultivar is a bit of a Bavarian mystery: Originally thought to have been developed in the 1970’s by notable viticulturist, Dr Gerhardt Alleweldt, as a cross between Cabernet Sauvignon and Blaufrankisch, however, recent DNA evidence suggests it is Blaufrankisch and Teinturier du Cher.

Blaufrankisch is known as Kekfrankos in Hungary,  where it is the foundational grape in the famous Bull's Blood blend of the region.

The Cabernet Mitos vine thrives in the German climate to produce a versatile wine of good color and medium body that ages well and presents subtle hints of eucalyptus, vanilla and wild berries.
