Tasting Notes:

This 5-star rated classic Simonsberg Cabernet, exuding a sense of coolness, despite the warm vintage conditions. The palate is delicate and fresh, with an austere old-world charm about it. Grainy tannins compliment the earthy profile, with subtle hints of liquorice on the lengthy finish.

Bouquet:

A perfumed nose filled with notes of blackcurrants, fennel, cigar box, tea leaf and “fynbos” shrub.

Maturation:

Fermentation took place in open top concrete fermenters at 29oC. The floating skins were punched down by hand, every 2 hours during fermentation. The juice was drawn off the skins after 5 days. After malolactic fermentation the wine was matured for 24 months in 50% new and 50% second fill 225L French Nevers oak barrels.

Ageing Potential:

20 years
