Fabulous, rich, plush Cabernet. A phenomenal expression of Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon with a maritime influence that sets it apart, yet with a nod to Bordeaux. With carefully selected fruit from the cool gravelly slopes facing False Bay to the rich red granitic soils around Stellenbosch, the wine gains its complexity by expertly blending fruit from 4 specifically diverse terroirs.
Christo Le Riche did a tasting for us in May and this was showing beautifully then and even better now. Classic cassis and morelo cherry on the nose and palate, it's big and rich yet the tannins are so plush, fabulous sweet fruit with integrated oak and a long fresh finish. Beautiful now and will of course cellar well. Bring on the lamb!
