2021 Vriesenhof Vineyards Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 0.75 Ltr. Red
picture of

Beautiful, deep, garnet red colour. Black and blue berries on the nose. Subtle wood aromas add class. Nicely balanced on the palate with distinctive Cabernet allures. Forest fruits, cedar, more toasted notes and a touch of leather and tobacco. The ideal companion to a good piece of meat. Long and pleasant finish.

A savoury accompaniment to grilled red meat, lamb chops, aged sirloin steak and other tasty stews.

climate

Stellenbosch has a warm maritime climate with high rainfall in the winter period. Temperatures in this winter period are below 20 degrees Celsius. The summer months there are hot , dry and pleasant. With varying influence from the Atlantic Ocean and the Stellenbosch mountains.

soil

Variation of Hutton and Clovely subsoil (weathered granite) with generally quite a lot of clay. This helps retain water.

vinification

Manual picking in the cool of the morning. Classic fermentation under controlled temperature in 3rd and 4th fill barrels on which it rests further for 9 months. The wine is then transferred to a combination of barrels of which 10% are new, 10% 2nd fill and the rest on 3rd fill barrels for 6 months.
