This wine embodies KWV's unwavering pursuit of excellence. Sourced from a 2.56-hectare vineyard that has delivered outstanding fruit for over a decade, the wine is full-bodied and expressive, bursting with notes of blackcurrant, black cherry, and plum, accented by hints of bell pepper. The tannin structure is grippy yet well integrated, supporting a succulent, balanced palate layered with undertones of tobacco and eucalyptus.  Matured for 18 months in 100% new French oak, only 1,000 bottles of this limited-release wine was bottled in November 2023.

Grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness and hand-sorted in the cellar to Q ensure top-quality fruit for fermentation. Following a two-day cold maceration to enhance colour and aroma extraction, the juice was inoculated with a selected yeast strain. Alcoholic fermentation lasted nine days, during which the wine was pumped over every four hours. After pressing and settling, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation in barrel. It was then racked, lightly clarified, and returned to barrel for further maturation. After 12 months, a strict selection process identified the finest components for an additional six-month maturation period. During its 18-month maturation period, the wine was racked only twice, a Cabernet Sauvignon representing the best of the best.
