Dense deep fresh red colour. The nose shows red 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon, Meinert www.enotriacoe.com Dense deep fresh red colour. The nose shows red berries, typical Cabernet herbs, spicy toasty oak and tobacco. Mouth filling and weighty but not clumsy on the palate, finishes crisp and lingering.

Should match well with Tuscan style veal, wild boar with truffled mash and of course a well-aged piece of beef, especially reduced rich sauces.

climate

Elgin is the coolest wine region in South Africa, well below Stellenbosch and other well-known wine regions of the Western Cape

soil

ancient sandstone with coarse pieces of silica quartz and shales that are predominantly iron-rich.

vinification

100% Cabernet Sauvignon. I believe Cabernet Sauvignon is particularly suited to our vineyard and thus important to showcase. Our soils, which are deep and well drained with high clay content, and the low yields define our wines. Vines receive supplementary irrigation. Average yield 5 tons/ha.
