Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep purple colour. On the nose black berry, cassis, fennel and the faintest hint of basil, all wrapped up in serious, warm, toasty oak. The palate is all about chunky, magically integrated tannin. This rewarding mouth-feel is complimented by concentrated flavours of youngberry, wild mint and blueberry. Winemaking Notes of Interest/Vinification techniques/Significant milestones: Our Founder, Bruce Jack’s grandmother, Elsie Fraser-Munn was a legendary music teacher and performer. In her Music Room, practice made perfect. Patience, dedication and attention to detail are similarly required to craft great Cabernet. The music on the front label is a beautiful choral piece composed for her by the renowned South African composer, Peter Klatzow. Every year we court disaster with the weather, leaving the grapes to hang long past when it is safe for grapes to be out and about. We just pray each day the next hot, dry, north wind isn’t going to blast it flat and shrivel the berries beyond recognition.
