Best Cabernet in the World (IWC 2023)

The 2021 ‘The Pastoralist’ Cabernet Sauvignon from Riddoch Coonawarra, South Australia, recently won 2023 International Wine Challenge (IWC) best cabernet in the world, and best cabernet in Australia!  Very proud of an Australian wine winning the challenge and for Australia being considered the second-best wine producing country!  <br/><br/>Subsequently Trent and I wanted to review the winning cabernet to see if it really is deserving of the title of ‘best in the world’ (particularly a wine that we purchased for $40 at Dan Murphy's which is a bargain!).<br/><br/>Subscribe to TheWinedUp and comment below on your thoughts of the 2021 ‘The Pastoralist’ or tell us if you agree / disagree with previous IWC winners.<br/><br/>Chapters:<br/>0:00 Introduction<br/>0:28 Thoughts of the Week - Trent<br/>2:54 Thoughts of the Week - Jason<br/>5:34 What Have We Been Drinking - 2018 Maretti Chiani<br/>7:19 IWC 2023 Wine of the Year - Overview<br/>11:12 Wine Review - 2021 Riddoch Coonawarra 'The Pastoralist' Cabernet Sauvignon<br/>15:49 The Wined Up Corkscrew Rating<br/>17:10 The Wined Up - Conclusion<br/><br/>#wine  #podcast  #cabernetsauvignon  #riddoch #coonawarra #barossavalley  #internationalwinechallenge<br/><br/>The content in this episode are our own personal experiences and opinions.  There are no paid ads or promotions.<br/><br/>ATTRIBUTION<br/><br/>2015, Antidze M., Georgia says Russia is now one step closer to annexing one of its provinces, Business Insider, 20 Feb 2025, https://www.businessinsider.com/r-georgia-condemns-russia-south-ossetia-deal-as-step-toward-annexation-2015-2<br/><br/>2023, News.com.au, Popular alcoholic drink can help men with common sex problem, 6 July 2023, News.com.au, https://www.news.com.au/lifest....yle/relationships/se Us on YouTube (@TheWinedUp), Instagram (The.Wined.Up), Tik Tok (@TheWinedUp), Spotify (The Wined Up), and Apple Podcasts (The Wined Up).
