Silene Cabernet Sauvignon

Ideal with grilled lamb, charred ribeye, rosemary-infused roast vegetables, or mature cheddar, as the wine’s dark fruit core and supple tannins complement bold, savory dishes.

The fruit was sourced entirely from Stellenbosch, Western Cape. Vineyards contributing to the 2023 vintage included Stellenzight (54%), Helderkruin (31%), Eikendal (9%), and Nooitgedacht (6%). The 2022/2023 growing season featured mild, dry conditions early on, followed by rain and cool temperatures in late February through March. These challenges resulted in smaller berry sizes and lower yields, particularly for late-ripening cultivars like Cabernet Sauvignon, ultimately contributing to the wine’s intensity and concentration.

Matured for 14 months in French oak barrels, of which 30% were new, contributing subtle structure and spice without overwhelming the varietal character.

Capensis is a family of three wines dedicated exclusively to Chardonnay. The name Capensis is taken from the Latin word meaning,“from the Cape,” and pays homage to its home in the Western Cape of South Africa, one of the oldest winemaking regions in the world Ancient geology and dramatic landscape form the foundation for Capensis, which celebrates the diverse and remarkable winegrowing potential of the Western Cape.
