Belvinage Cabernet Sauvignon Excellence 2016, crafted by Wijnerij De Belaeving in the Netherlands’ Limburg region, is a pure Cabernet Sauvignon grown in a greenhouse, showcasing innovative Dutch winemaking. The bouquet reveals blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry, with notes of graphite, spice, and subtle oak, accented by hints of green pepper. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with firm tannins and vibrant acidity balancing the concentrated fruit. Five months of French oak aging adds complexity, delivering a long, powerful finish with good aging potential. Perfect for pairing with grilled steaks, game, or aged cheeses, this wine reflects De Belaeving’s pioneering approach, offering a sophisticated experience for enthusiasts seeking a robust Dutch red. Its richness and depth make it a standout from the 2016 vintage, highlighting the potential of greenhouse viticulture.
