Stellenbosch Cabernet

Stellenbosch’s unique combination of soils and climate makes it the perfect region for cultivating world-class Cabernet Sauvignon. With mild temperatures, abundant sunlight, and well-drained soils rich in granite, shale, and sandstone, the environment is ideally suited for this noble grape. Moderate rainfall ensures healthy growth, while the region’s distinctive terroir adds a visceral, expressive character to its wines. The skill and dedication of Stellenbosch’s winemaking community further elevate the region’s Cabernets, crafting exceptional wines that stand out on the global stage.

In Stellenbosch, the cool winds from the Southern Ocean meet the warmth of our sunlit mountains, weaving through valleys and moderating the climate. Our ancient soils hold the key to our wines’ depth, allowing our Cabernets to capture the essence of the region in every bottle.

Stellenbosch’s diverse and varied terroir has earned it the title of South Africa’s ‘Kingdom of Cabernet,’ where the landscape itself shapes the character and complexity of the wines.

In the face of climate change, sustainability in winemaking is not just an option but a vital responsibility. Stellenbosch’s wine producers are committed to safeguarding the land and its future through sustainable practices that respect both nature and tradition.
