"A 100% Cabernet Sauvignon with a rich bouquet—perfect for drinking now or aging for years!"

“The 2020 Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon features magnificent oak aromas with hints of fresh red fruit. It is spicy, with notes of cranberry skin and pencil shavings. The full-bodied palate offers a firm, rocky minerality that will need another year in the bottle to fully develop, but it has good structure and is built to last. A fine achievement! 2024–2040” (Robert Parker 2023)

About the wine:

The 2020 Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon features magnificent oak aromas with hints of fresh red fruit. It is spicy, with notes of cranberry skin and pencil shavings. The full-bodied palate offers a firm, rocky minerality that will need another year in the bottle to fully develop, but it has good structure and is built to last. A real success! 2024–2040
