Eikehof Cabernet Sauvignon

Ruby red and full of character, the Eikehof Cabernet Sauvignon is a red wine that bears the signature of the traditional Eikehof Wine Estate. The family-run wine estate is idyllically situated in the shade of old oak trees to the west of Franschhoek and has been run by the Malherbe family since 1903. Today, Francois Malherbe is the fourth generation to carry on his great-grandfather's wine-growing legacy.

In the glass, this medium to full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon develops intense aromas of red and black berries, complemented by subtle spicy nuances. The three months of ageing in French oak give the wine an elegant woody note that harmoniously supports the natural fruitiness. On the palate, it is balanced, smooth and has a lingering, charming finish.

Serve the Eikehof Cabernet Sauvignon at 16-18 °C with grilled or braised meat, hearty stews, mature cheese or simply as a stylish accompaniment to an enjoyable evening.

Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon
The Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon is an elegant and powerful red wine from South Africa that impresses with its remarkable depth, structure and aromatic complexity. This red wine made from Cabernet Sauvignon and a small proportion of Cabernet Franc comes from organically farmed vineyards in Franschhoek. The grapes are carefully harvested by hand, rigorously selected and then fermented spontaneously in egg-shaped concrete tanks.

There are also nuances of liquorice, black tea and fine spices, which underline the aristocratic character of this Cabernet Sauvignon. On the palate, the wine is concentrated but never overloaded. The fruit is densely interwoven with a fine minerality, the acid structure is precise, the tannins ripe and supple. The wine lingers on the finish - with notes of cassis, mocha and a hint of leather.The Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon is an ideal accompaniment to aromatic, spicy meat dishes. It goes particularly well with rack of lamb with a herb crust, braised beef with rosemary or game dishes with a dark sauce.
