Stellenrust Cabernet Sauvignon 75cl 2021

This wine offers blackcurrant, berry and black cherry flavours with an undertone of mint and mocha, well rounded with elegant tannins and a refreshing acidity leaving good tannic grip.

In our opinion, Cabernet Sauvignon, still strongly holds the crown as being the ‘father of all grapes’ and has a very special place in Stellenbosch.

Grapes were crushed and allowed cold macera-tion for 24 – 48 hours. It is inoculated with French yeast strains and fermented with regular punch downs for 10 days on the skins. The wine is then drained from the skins and further fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation is partially finished in barrels (only about 15%). The wine is then allowed to mature in French oak over a period of 12 months.
