De Wetshof
The name De Wetshof has been synonymous with the production of fine wines in South Africa since the 1970’s. As the first registered wine estate in the Robertson Wine Valley De Wetshof has become known internationally as South Africa’s eminent Chardonnay House due to the pioneering role it played in introducing this noble Burgundian grape to the country. The De Wet family’s winemaking heritage can however be traced back to 1694 when the first De Wets arrived at the Cape and immediately made a mark on the South African wine industry. Today De Wetshof is one of the few third generation wine estates in South Africa. Here Danie de Wet proprietor and cellarmaster is assisted by sons Johann (viticulture and marketing) and Peter (winemaker).
Description
A medium- to full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with a balanced, classic profile. The nose shows ripe blackcurrant and dark cherry, supported by subtle notes of cedar, dried herbs and gentle spice. The palate is structured yet approachable, with firm but well-integrated tannins, moderate acidity and a dry, persistent finish that reflects restraint rather than overt power.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with grilled beef, lamb, roast meats and hearty stews. The wine’s structure and savoury character also complement mature hard cheeses.
