Product Description:
A serious wine with all the hallmarks of an exceptional Cabernet. The nose shows alluring notes of concentrated red and black fruits, tilled earth, and cedar, combined with oak spice. On the palate, the Cabernet displays intensity and depth, underscored by chalky, ripe tannins and a savory finish. Rich and full-bodied, yet expertly balanced with superb purity and focus.

Vinifikation The grapes come from a 19-year-old vineyard planted on deep granite soils in Firgrove, Stellenbosch. The Firgrove vineyards are located between Somerset West and Stellenbosch at the foot of the Helderberg, about 6 km from False Bay. The unique soils were formed approximately 500-550 million years ago; this "Coffeestone" merges mineral elements from decomposed granite with a porous layer in the soil, providing good water and nutrient qualities. Below that, we have partially decomposed granite in the form of saprolite. This subsoil, into which the vines send their roots, is the "Tough Times Bank," where the vines slowly access water and nutrients in the second half of the season as the soil dries out. The ocean, overlooking False Bay from Hangklip to Simonstown, ensures slow ripening and sustained wind control, leading to an overall terroir effect of small grapes with concentrated berry aromas and fully structured yet ripe tannins. This Cabernet Sauvignon was hand-picked and fermented in open fermenters with regular punch-downs of the cap. It was aged for 25 months in 300L French oak barrels, 85% of which were new wood.
