Vriesenhof
Vriesenhof has a history dating back to the early eighteen century where its south facing slopes are perfectly positioned to produce wines of a fine character. The estate has plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc Merlot Pinotage and small block of Pinot Noir. You’ll find it between the Helderberg and Stellenbosch mountains amidst the Paradyskloof Valley. Three ranges of superb wines are produced including the labels of Vriesenhof Talana Hill and Paradyskloof. Jan Boland Coetzee is the wine maker of the estate and he has ensured that the position of each variety is planted in the ideal position.
Description
Youthful, bright red in appearance. Varietal Cabernet Sauvignon notes of cassis, red currant and liquorice marry well with fine oak aromas to provide a complex nose. The densely structured palate offers compact, chalky tannins and classic Cabernet Sauvignon fruit flavours. Ripe fruit combined with judicious use of barrel maturation provides complexity and length to this fine example of Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon.
Food Pairing
A wine that will compliment every occasion. Will pair well with meat dishes and hearty winter stews.
