Product Description:
This vintage was truly a spectacular year for Cabernet and this release is a prime example of a full-bodied, foundational Cabernet. The nose shows layers of ripe blackcurrants, red berries, mulberries and a hint of cedars and walnuts. A well-balanced wine with a flavorful palate, rounded out by subtle oak spice and firm tannins.

Vinifikation
Hand-picked grapes from a single vineyard within the Simonsberg-Paarl appellation, hand-sorted and then spontaneously fermented in 400l open-top oak barrels, while a small portion was inoculated and fermented in a small open-top stainless steel tank. After 4 weeks of skin maceration, the free-run juice was transferred to 225l new French oak barrels for 24 months. Each barrel was evaluated and carefully selected before the final cuvée was blended.
