Intense dark colour. A subtle, intriguing and appetizing nose with blue and blackberries and typical cedar aromas from the Jonkershoek Valley. The palate is nervous and fresh, followed by a well-defined tannin structure. This is a wine built to last and early drinking would benefit with decanting.

The winter of 2018 was the 4th year of drought conditions in the Western Cape of South Africa. The effect of the drought carried over in 2018 with a relatively warm winter. Early budding resulted in an early harvest season. During ripening the average day time temperatures were moderate followed by cool evenings. This resulted in heterogeneity in the ripening of the Cabernet Berries. Harvest commenced on 21 February 2019. Grapes were harvested at 25.5°B with a total acid of 7.5 g/l and a pH of 3.5. Yield: 6.1Tons/Ha
