Sourced primarily from estate and contracted vineyards on calcareous hillsides influenced by cool Pacific breezes, the wine aims to balance generosity of fruit with a subtle mineral edge.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eThe blend is based on Cabernet Sauvignon with small additions of Petit Verdot and Merlot, fermented at warm temperatures to extract color and tannin, then aged around eight months in French oak, about half of it new, to add texture and notes of mocha, espresso and vanilla. This approach produces a Cabernet that is plush and crowd‑pleasing but supported by enough acidity and structure to pair well with hearty dishes and evolve in bottle for several years.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"marker:text-quiet list-disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eNose: Black cherry, cassis and plum accented by blackberry, dried herbs, cocoa powder, sandalwood, pencil lead, sage, menthol and subtle leather.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003ePalate: Rich, full‑bodied and supple, with boysenberry and cherry at the core, plus black raspberry, spicy currant, blueberry compote, licorice and dried herbs, wrapped in smooth but present tannins.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eFinish: Long and clean, lingering with plum, blackberry, cherry, espresso and vanilla over a faintly stony, mineral backdrop.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards and Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWine Enthusiast has rated Daou Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 at 91 points, noting its “clean lines of cherry, toasted wood, red flowers and thyme” on the nose and a palate that combines blackberry fruit with mocha spice.

This Cabernet pairs well with grilled or roasted beef, lamb, burgers, barbecued ribs and aged hard cheeses, and can be enjoyed immediately or cellared for roughly 5–8 years to gain more tobacco, leather and dried‑fruit complexity as the tannins continue to soften.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlcohol: about 14.5% ABV.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eResidual Sugar: Dry; richness comes from ripe fruit and oak rather than sweetness.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClosure: Cork.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Cellar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47793194139819,"sku":"DAO001-23","price":230.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3023\/7867\/files\/daou_cabernet_sauvignon.jpg?v=1789202434","url":"https:\/\/www.regiswine.com.hk\/products\/daou-cabernet-sauvignon-2023","provider":"Regis Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
