Red Wine

On the palate

This Annandale Cabernet sauvignon is a true reflection of the exceptional red wine that is created within the Helderberg valley. Soft Cedar wood tannins, black cherry and hints of dark chocolate gives this wine a fruit driven intensity ending in a lingering spice and butterscotch finish. Colour: Intense ruby red. Bouquet: Deep red and black berry flavours with a hint of cranberry adding surprizing sweetness to the nose. Cedar wood and cigar box with subtle spicy notes. Taste: Intense Dark berry notes are repeated on the pallet. Hints of smokiness, umami and mocha makes this wine well balanced yet full-bodied.

Annandale Wine Farm is the oldest farm in the premium red-wine producing Helderberg wine region in Stellenbosch. It is also one of the 15 oldest farms in South Africa with Simon van der Stel granting the title deed of Annandale in 1688, only 9 years after establishing Stellenbosch. The cellar and manor house dates back to the early 1700s and these original buildings remain unchanged and operational to this day, reflecting the rich heritage of this old wine farm. The Du Toit family (French Huguenots) see themselves as custodians of the property. Fifth generation winemaker Hempies du Toit, who is also an old Springbok Rugby Icon of the 1800s, prides himself with producing a wine that reflects the true heart of the terroir it is grown in. In the cellar they use very natural methods of winemaking. Fermentation and maturation are done with as little interference as possible. A more bio friendly approach to the vineyards results in healthier ecosystems as they pay homage to the authentic history of winemaking in the Annandale Valley.
