Well knit, approachable.

Cathy van Zyl, Platter

Cabernet Sauvignon, Kaapzicht

Stellenbosch has become synonymous with refined, complex expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Deep ruby with saturated opaque centre; abundance of blackcurrant, fynbos and fennel with inky succulence and firm well-managed tannins; rich fruit is beautifully balanced with integrated oak flavours lending depth and complexity.
