Martin Melck Cabernet Sauvignon Family Reserve 2020

In this full-bodied, opulent wine, the black berries, currants and plums are almost Crème de Cassis-like in their concentration; the oak integration is seamless while imparting an exotic spice perfume. A wine to cellar for at least five years before savoring slowly

The Muratie Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is sourced from a site-specific vineyard. This block was earmarked due to its unique location. Situated at the foot of the Simonsberg Mountain. For all intents and purposes we cultivate it as a single vineyard

The grapes were handpicked yielding 6 tons per hectare. Grapes are destalked, berries are hand sorted prior to being crushed and pumped into a combination of stainless steel and open fermenters. A controlled fermentation was ensured and regular pump-overs and punch-downs were done.

Matured in 100% new French Oak for 22 months. The fruit, tannin structure and fine acidity indicates a wine of balance and finesse reflective of the Simonsberg terroir
