Kleine Zalze Vineyard Selection Cabernet Sauvignon

The Kleine Zalze Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a red wine that ranks among the most exquisite creations of South African viticulture. In John Platter’s Wine Guide, former vintages of this wine were awarded 4.5 or 5 out of 5 possible stars.

This pure varietal Cabernet unites notes of black cherries, dark plums and black currants in its multi-layered bouquet, which harmonise wonderfully with nuances of cedar, oak and cigar box. On the palate, the wine shows great density, fine tannins and great elegance, complemented by impressively well-integrated wood aromas and a fascinating balance. The finish is long-lasting, showing a lovely, sustained spice.

The wine matured for 20 months in casks, of which 40% were first-fill and 30% each were second- and third-fill barrels. Try this red wine from the Stellenbosch region with flash-fried steaks, game or various fine, ripe cheeses.
