Ou Kalant Cabernet Sauvignon

This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs excellently with bold meat dishes and aged hard cheeses. Its robust structure and fruit-forward character complement grilled steaks, lamb chops, and mature cheddar.

Grapes for this vintage were sourced from several dry-farmed vineyards in the Agter-Paarl area of South Africa. The region's Malmesbury Shale soils, known for good water retention and high clay content, impart minerality and fresh acidity to the wine.

The wine was matured for 12 months, with 5% aged in new American oak barrels and 25% in older barrels. This ageing regimen contributes to its subtle oak nuances and smooth tannins.

Fermentation took place over five days in stainless steel tanks with regular pump-overs. Before the end of fermentation, the grapes were pressed and returned to the tank for malolactic fermentation. The wine was fined and filtered before bottling.
