Hermanuspietersfontein
The name originates from the founder of Hermanus Hermanus Pieters who in 1855 helped take a little fisherman’s village and turn it into the town it is today. This name has given them the title of longest Afrikaans name for a cellar in the world. Their wines are just as uniquely named with the HPF brand being the only wine cellar in South Africa to use Afrikaans-only names. The non-serious attitude has also led to a well-loved reputation as a fun and laid-back winery with the owner commenting that “while we don’t take ourselves seriously we’re serious about making good wines”.
Description
The 2019 vintage of Swartskaap Cabernet Franc presents a violet to ruby red hue. On the nose, it offers aromas of black olive, fynbos, and spice. The palate is characterized by minerality, elegance, finesse, and complexity, culminating in a sophisticated lingering finish.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs well with dishes such as beef, lamb, poultry, and game (deer, venison), complementing its rich and complex profile.
