Cabernet Sauvignon

This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs excellently with roast beef, mushroom risotto, and lamb dishes. It also complements hard cheeses like camembert and roquefort​.

The grapes for this wine were sourced from the Western Cape region, which offers a diverse terroir that contributes to the balanced fruit expression and firm structure of the wine​.

The wine was aged in second- and third-fill French oak barrels for about 6 months, which imparts subtle oak influences without overpowering the fruit​.

The wine was vinified in a combination of open and closed-top stainless steel fermenters, preserving the fresh fruit flavors. It underwent fermentation for 7 to 14 days with frequent punch-downs and pump-overs. Afterward, the wine was transferred to seasoned French oak barrels for maturation, spending 6 months in oak to develop complexity​.

Guardian Peak wines were conceived in 1998 by Jean Engelbrecht who combined his knowledge and understanding of international wine markets with his experience and involvement at his family wine estate Rust en Vrede in Stellenbosch. The objective was to create a range of wines that should be accessible to the consumer in both style and price. Grapes for Guardian Peak are sourced from the Breedekloof and Stellenbosch appellations where we enjoy long-term contracts with respected growers. More importantly we view our contracts as relationships whereby both parties benet mutually. Two decades later and our beliefs remain to produce approachable sustainable wines of consistent quality allowing our consumer to experience value and enjoy them as often as we do.
