Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon

Stews, Steak, Lamb, Casseroles, Roasts, Venison

Well established trellised vineyards planted on Southwest facing slopes on well-drained decomposed granite soils from the Bottelary hills and Jonkershoek valley. These vineyards have access to supplementary irrigation.

Malolactic fermentation was completed in new French oak barrels. This wine spent 18 months in 25% new French oak barrels and the balance is 2nd , 3rd and 4th fill.

Fermentation is initiated in stainless steel tanks. The de-stemmed grapes underwent a series of pump overs until dry. Further maceration is allowed before drawing off and light pressing.
