Carmen Stevens
Carmen Stevens Wines was established in 2011 with our maiden vintage in 2014. Carmen Stevens has been in the South African Wine Industry since qualifying in 1995. Carmen graduated as the first black South African to study the art of winemaking in South Africa. In January 2019, Carmen registered the first 100% black-owned winery in South Africa in the picturesque Stellenbosch. We celebrate each growing season by highlighting the attributes that Mother Nature gives us with each vintage. Our work is to accentuate the positive attributes of the specific year and display these characteristics in full to the wine enthusiast. Each bottle of Carmen Stevens Wines is truly handmade, and we are committed to only using plant-derived additives that ensure our wines can be enjoyed by all. We source our fruit from a range of grape-growing regions with exceptional vineyards, enabling us to celebrate the array of soil types of South Africa, each adding its unique touch to our wines. Individual small batches of wines are handmade and blended later to heighten what we strive to showcase in each vintage.
Description
Dark dense colouring. A fusion of black currant, blueberry, and dark chocolate that flows into a cigar box note, lights up the senses. Followed by a sweetness that is indicative of phenolic ripe fruit. The palate entrance is smooth, ripe, and expressive of Cabernet Sauvignon as the dominant varietal. Cassis and sweet berry fruit fill the midpalate while the ripe tannin structure adds an elegant touch to the palate weight of this wine. The wine lingers with ripe sweet fruit and just enough limey notes to refresh the palate. This wine has a beautiful depth of phenolic ripe fruits.
Food Pairing
The Nemrac will pair well with an aged steak or a hearty oxtail stew.
