Cabernet Sauvignon - Vriesenhof 1.5 litre

Limited 1.5 Litre Magnum! 

The Cabernet Sauvignon is only available in magnum, making it a collector's item. The reason being to identify a couple of barrels of excellent Cabernet Sauvignon and to put something special in bottle to be enjoyed now or in years to come.

Fermentation on the skins is normally 6-8 days with a small percentage having extended skin contact. Soon after harvest the tasting of the different Cabernets start with the intention to identify the Vriesenhof Cab and have the wine as soon as possible after the harvest to go into wood for up to 20 - 24 months with a good percentage of new wood. A classic Cabernet Sauvignon tight in texture with an underlying elegance and promise of decades of maturation possibilities. The wine is taut, with varietal aromas, dark fruit, cassias, a hint of mint on the nose and graphite on the palate.

The Cabernet Sauvignon shows best with venison and beef.
