Vrede en Lust Boet Erasmus Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 from Simonsberg-Paarl is a graceful and classically styled South African red wine with restraint, elegance, and quiet depth. The nose opens with lifted red and black fruit, followed by subtle notes of tobacco, vanilla, and a gentle earthy character that add complexity without overwhelming the wine’s refined profile. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and beautifully composed, showing pure fruit expression, lively acidity, and fine tannins that bring structure and finesse. The finish is long, savoury, and polished, leaving a lasting impression of balance and understated sophistication. With its poised character and clear aging potential, this Cabernet Sauvignon is a rewarding choice for those who appreciate elegance over excess.
Each component of this wine was harvested at the point of optimal ripeness and fermented in stainless steel tanks. A portion of the juice completed malolactic fermentation in 225L oak barrels. The wine was matured in French oak barrels (35% new) for 16-18 months.
