Christina Cabernet Sauvignon

This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs excellently with rich meat dishes, smoked foods, stews, and venison. Its robust flavor profile complements hearty meals, enhancing the dining experience.

This single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is cultivated in the Robertson region, known for its favorable terroir for red grape varieties. The vineyard benefits from a combination of warm days and cool nights, promoting optimal ripening conditions.

The wine was matured in new French oak barrels, which imparted subtle oak nuances and contributed to its complexity and aging potential.

After hand-harvesting, the grapes underwent traditional vinification processes, including fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Post-fermentation, the wine was transferred to barrels for maturation.
