Main Road & Dignity Cabernet Sauvignon

Pairs well with grilled lamb chops, beef tenderloin, or hearty vegetable stews. The wine's structure and acidity complement rich, savory dishes.

Sourced from two blocks—Main Road and Dignity—planted in 1998, these are among the oldest Cabernet Sauvignon vines in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. The cool maritime climate and decomposed granite soils contribute to the wine's elegance and complexity.

Matured for 24 months in 225-liter French oak barrels, with 25% new oak, allowing for integration of oak flavors and development of complexity.

The wine underwent fermentation with careful temperature control to preserve varietal character and terroir expression. Minimal intervention techniques were employed to maintain purity of fruit.

Restless River is in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, situated in the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley appellation, with vineyards at an altitude reaching 1200ft and 5km from the cold South Atlantic ocean. The appellation is unique with ancient, granite-based, rocky, deep clay soils; extremely rare to the greater Walker Bay area. Daytime temperatures during summer are some of the lowest in the South African winelands. This cool maritime climate and decomposed granite soils  produces elegant wines, balanced with texture, length and complexity.
