This is a red wine made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in the Stellenbosch wine region of South Africa. Stellenbosch is known for its warm days, cool nights, and varied soils (granite, decomposed granite, Table Mountain sandstone, etc.), which help produce Cabernet wines with depth, complexity, and aging potential. The wine is typically fermented and aged partly in oak barrels, which contributes structure, spice, and the possibility of development over several years.
Tasting Notes:
-
Appearance: Deep ruby to inky garnet; a saturated color with hints of purple at the rim.
-
Aroma: Aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherry and plum, often with cedar, cedar-box, graphite, tobacco, and sometimes a herbal/leafy undertone.
-
Palate: Full-bodied and robust; rich black fruit flavors (blackberry, cassis), balanced by oak-derived vanilla, tobacco, perhaps a touch of dark chocolate or black olive, with firm but polished tannins.
-
Finish: Long and structured; lingering dark fruit and oak spice, with a dry, slightly dusty or graphite note in more premium examples.
-
ABV: ~14%
Serving Suggestions:
Best served at around 16-18 °C. Decanting can help open up aromas, particularly with younger bottles. Pairs beautifully with grilled or roasted red meats (beef, lamb), rich stews, game, or mature cheeses. Also good with mushroom dishes or dark chocolate desserts when slightly aged.
