Appearance: Intense garnet red color, medium-high intensity, with clean ruby reflections at the rim and excellent visual density that denotes its structure.

Nose: Frank and expressive. Displays rich notes of ripe black fruits such as currants and blackberries, intertwined with the noble vegetal nuances characteristic of the varietal (sweet green pepper) and a subtle background of black pepper and licorice.

Palate: Firm and characterful on entry. On the mid-palate, it is round, with mature, well-polished tannins that integrate with a balanced acidity. Medium-bodied with a smooth finish, it concludes with a long, fruity, and pleasantly spicy finish.

Precision Gastronomic Pairing: The structure and tannic presence of this Cabernet from the Courage winery demand dishes with weight and good protein concentration. It finds its maximum harmony alongside premium grilled red meat cuts, pork ribs with barbecue sauce, and spicy stews. It's fantastic with gourmet burgers with aged cheddar cheese and crispy bacon, cold cuts pizzas, or pasta with Bolognese sauce. When integrated into local Mexican cuisine, it is the undisputed ally for a carnita asada (grilled meat barbecue), making a perfect pairing with arrachera (skirt steak), grilled chistorra sausage, rib eye tacos, and melted cheese with chorizo.

Suggested Moments:

• Carnita Asada and Barbecues: Forget corkscrews and crystal glasses next to the grill. Its canned format allows you to hold your chilled premium Cabernet in one hand while tending the embers with the other.
• Summer and Outdoor Dinners: Enjoying a red wine with good structure during the warm months is a pleasure thanks to this format, which allows it to be chilled for a few minutes in ice to soften the alcohol and enhance the fruit.
• Informal Family Meals: A fantastic option to place on a relaxed weekend table; its versatility and practicality fit wonderfully with roasts, pasta, and extended conversations.

Is it necessary to decant or let this canned Cabernet breathe?

It is not necessary. The team of winemakers at Courage winery has vinified this Cabernet focusing on the roundness of its tannins and the immediate expression of its fruit. It is designed to display all its complexity and character the exact moment you open the can.

Can it be drunk straight from the can or is it better in a glass?

The premium 250ml can is ergonomically designed to be enjoyed directly at barbecues, beaches, or informal settings with total comfort. However, if you are at a formal dinner and wish to fully appreciate its aromatic complexity and garnet color, we suggest serving it in a large red wine glass.

Does the can lining alter the tannins of the red wine?

No. Courage cans feature a state-of-the-art polymeric internal protective coating, specifically designed for high-acidity food and beverages. This coating is completely neutral, preventing any contact between the wine and the aluminum, ensuring that the tannic structure of the Cabernet remains intact.

How long can I store this canned red wine?

Unlike traditional aged red wines in corked bottles, this format is designed to exalt the freshness and youth of the Cabernet. It is recommended to consume it within 12 to 18 months of purchase to fully enjoy its vibrant primary fruit expression.
