Region:Franschhoek
Vintage:2019
Grape:
Red
A rather shy nose only allows a gentle waft of black fruit, some smoke and an insinuation of plushness. The palate then fulfils this promise with a gorgeously velvety swish of dark fruit. Fine freshness is a counterweight while the tannins come across like starched, still crunchy, velvet. This has wonderful depth there is something generous and three-dimensional about this – and it will age beautifully.
Grapes for our Franschhoek Cabernet Sauvignon are picked from individual vineyards planted adjacent to one another, grown from deep alluvial soils of the valley, and from our own farm vineyards, on decomposed Granitic soils found on slopes surrounding Boekenhoutskloof. The Cabernet Sauvignon and small portion of Cabernet Franc vineyards planted at Boekenhoutskloof have been organically farmed for 12 years now and produce exceptional quality fruit, with each ongoing vintage. This vintage is particularly exciting since we decided to use even more fruit from these organically farmed vineyards.
