Jakob's Vineyards
Jakob's Vineyards lies against the slopes of the Babylons Toren mountain range, near the beautiful coastal town of Hermanus. The farm has one hectare under Cabernet Sauvignon vines and focuses on the production of quality wine which expresses its unique cool area terroir.
Description
Dark fruit, spice and coffee lead on the nose before damson, redcurrant and petrichor. The palate is defined by blackberries, plum and liquorice, with a wonderful earthiness present to add savoury balance. This is a bold vintage akin to 2017, with a dense concentration of succulent fruit; a Cabernet picked fully ripe from the cool-climate Hemel-en-Aarde region with a freshness and structure to hold the wine in tension. Sturdy tannins are deftly integrated and make for a long, dry finish.
Food Pairing
