Tasting Notes
“The 2017 vintage was truly a spectacular year for Cabernet and this release is an excellent example of a full-bodied fundamental Cabernet. The nose shows layers of ripe blackcurrants, red berries, mulberries and hints of cedar and walnuts. A balanced wine, with a flavourful palate rounded out by subtle oak spice and firm tannins. Sealed with a hand-selected premium grade natural cork, offering a zero-taint guarantee”. Johnnie Calitz (winemaker)
Food Pairing
Best enjoyed with sirloin or prime rib on the bone or a slow-cooked lamb dish.
