A classically styled Cabernet Sauvignon with a modern twist, this Franschhoek beauty opens with vibrant aromas of eucalyptus, cassis, and blackcurrant. Deep ruby with youthful purple edges, it reveals elegant layers of cigar box, pencil shavings, and ripe black fruit. On the palate, the structure is refined yet expressive — silky tannins meet juicy acidity for a perfectly poised finish. A wine of depth, balance, and age-worthy sophistication.
We replanted our Cabernet Sauvignon with virus-free vines that now thrive in Franschhoek’s mountain-fringed soils. At just six years old, they yield fruit with exceptional purity and concentration. Our approach is all about finesse—harvesting at peak ripeness and vinifying gently to preserve nuance. The result is a complex, elegant wine with refined power, seamless texture, and expressive fruit depth that speaks of our unique terroir.
