Power is cloaked in elegance, with firm tannins making for a commanding presence which leads to juicy succulence! Oozing dark berry and plum, the well-integrated oak ensures the wine has a velvety, yet rich plushness. This Cabernet is less fruit-forward and more rich, complex and full, perfect with the heating on in cooler climes or even better, a log fire!

Grapes were hand-picked, fermented in stainless steel, and pumped over six times a day until g they reached 10 ° Balling. Thereafter, a single daily pump-over was conducted, followed by fermentation and extended skin contact for 21 days. After tank fermentation, the wine was matured in barrels 60% new and the remainder 2nd, 3rd and 4th fill in equal percentages.

The wine was racked once after malolactic fermentation was completed, and then matured in barrels for 18 months.

Stellenbosch had good winter rains in the winter of 2019 and this was followed by fine ripening conditions. 2020 is considered a vintage of exceptional quality.

A wine for thoughtful sipping, or as an ideal partner to grilled meat, hearty stews and strong hard cheeses.
