Volume: 750ml
Alcohol: 13.5%
Grape Type: Cabernet Sauvignon 100%
Wine Style:Full-Bodied, fragrant

A classic interpretation of New-world Cabernet Sauvignon from South Africa. The wine shows fragrances of redcurrant, light fruitcake nuances and soft undertones of spice. The palate is elegant with sumptuous black cherry flavours. This classic Cabernet Sauvignon is well structured, with excellent maturation potential.

“My passion for the Cape Winelands and its diversity found its expression in this classic Cabernet Sauvignon. In our constant pursuit for vineyards that give our family of wines their distinction and character, this wine met all the hallmarks I believe should be reflected in a Cape Cabernet Sauvignon. It is my pleasure to share this wine from our family collection with you.”
– Hein Koegelenberg
