Unique layered granite gravel soils over yellow cracking clays and a combination of bush vines and trellised vineyards aged between 10-15 years old with sea views which fight soil and sea winds for low vigour.  provided the choice grapes for this Cabernet Sauvignon. 

Low yielding Cabernet with good structure from these unique sites on our Stellenbosch farms.   Handpicked at optimum ripeness.  Aerated pump over and pneumatic punch down with extended skin contact.  15 Months maturation in French oak barriques, 40% new and 60% 2nd and 3rd fill oak.

"Deep, ruby red in colour with chocolate and ripe berry fruit and hints of mint and cigar box notes on the nose. Full bodied with juicy mulberry and cherry flavours and spice on the palate.  Soft but firm tannins with a balanced mouth feel and a long finish.”

Excellent with North African dishes, spicy Moroccan tanginess, osso bucco and hearty risottos.
