Cabernet Sauvignon Stellenbosch

From old vines on the cool slopes of the Helderberg Mountain, where the maritime influence keeps things fresh and the iron-rich soils push the wine towards graphite and herb rather than heat and jam. Indigenous yeast fermentation, extended maceration and 20 months in 500-litre French oak. Cassis, tarragon, cedar and pencil shavings, with silky tannins and the kind of structured elegance that rewards patience. A unique and monumental wine that goes greatly with Thai neua op wunsen and Japanese wagyu sukiyaki.
