Grapes for the Kaapzicht Skemerlig Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 are harvested from vines planted on Clovelly type soil, all dry land, unirrigated vineyard giving a very low yield of 7 tons per hectare. Picked at 24.5° Balling and fermented until dry on skins. The wine is pressed gently and stored in tanks until malolactic fermentation is complete. Thereafter it is aged for 18 months in 35% new French oak barrels. Bottled at 14%. (Bottle size 750ml)

Nose: Powerful aromas of cassis and blackberries, accentuated beautifully by hints of fynbos and oak spice.

Palate: Rich fruit forward entry with notes of blackcurrant, mulberries and dates. Mid-palate has a more dried herbs, fynbos and fennel character with an intriguing inky succulence.

Finish: Firm fine tannins with long lingering notes of cedar oak.
