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

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.

Vinification details

Grapes were picked at full ripeness (25ºB), destalked and fermented in stainless steel red wine tanks with NT12 Yeast. Pumping over was done 4 times per day followed by a light pressing at 1 bar. Malolactic fermentation takes place in tank before going to french oak barrels for 24 months, of which  50% is new oak.
