Rainbow's End Cabernet Sauvignon

The Rainbow's End Cabernet Sauvignon from Rainbows End Wine Estate is an elegant, full-bodied red wine that perfectly reflects the uniqueness of South African terroirs. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the grapes come from a careful selection of different clones. This diversity contributes to the complex structure and character of this wine.

During vinification, the wine undergoes a careful 12-month ageing phase in French oak barrels, 58% of which are new wood, 17% second-fill and 25% third-fill barrels. During maturation, the wine is racked twice to promote purity and complexity. After barrel maturation, the wine is bottled unfiltered and unfined, which preserves its natural characteristics and can lead to a slight cloudiness or sediment in the bottle.

On the nose, the Rainbow's End Cabernet Sauvignon reveals seductive aromas of ripe plums and juicy blueberries, accompanied by subtle notes of regional fynbos vegetation and a fine hint of dark chocolate. On the palate, it is full of powerful fruit, rounded off by a slightly herbal finish. The velvety, fine tannins ensure a long-lasting, elegant finish.

This Rainbow's End Cabernet Sauvignon is an excellent accompaniment to hearty dishes such as grilled beef, game or aromatic stews. The ideal drinking temperature is 16 to 18 degrees Celsius to bring out its full aroma. The wine is ready to enjoy immediately, but will continue to develop in complexity and depth over the next 2 to 4 years.

Salentein Barrel Selection Cabernet Sauvignon
Since its founding in 1995, Bodegas Salentein has spared no effort to become one of the premium wineries in Argentina. The winery succeeded in recruiting star oenologist José Galante, and invested millions in the construction of the wine cellar that was built underground in the shape of a cross and equipped with the latest technology. The Salentein Barrel Selection Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most outstanding results of these efforts. It is a pure varietal Cabernet Sauvignon that matured for 12 months in French oak casks before it was bottled. It is a striking, intensely dark red – almost black - in the glass, offering the classic Cabernet Sauvignon aromas of currants, pepper and vanilla. It is fleshy on the palate, showing a very elegant structure and fine, soft, well-integrated tannins. The finish is long and voluminous. Those who prefer typical Cabernet Sauvignon wines will be delighted by this Salentein Barrel Selection. It is best served at a temperature of 16-18 °C (60.8-64.4 °F) and goes beautifully with lamb, game and mildly seasoned red meat. It is also an ideal accompaniment to hard cheeses. We recommend decanting the wine before drinking it so that the Salentein Barrel Selection Cabernet Sauvignon can develop its aromas to the fullest.

Chamonix Troika
Ein Spitzenwein aus Franschhoek: Der Chamonix Troika ist ein Blend aus 49% Cabernet Franc, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot und 13% Petit Verdot. Der rubinrote, trockene Wein duftet anregend nach Vanille, süßen, reifen Kirschen, Brombeeren und Gewürzen. Christine Rudman schreibt in John Platter’s Wine Guide von „Glänzenden Beeren, Gewürzen, Bleistift und Zigarrenkiste“. Sie vergibt stolze 93 Punkte (4,5 Sterne) für diesen herausragenden Rotwein aus Südafrika. Am Gaumen ist der Chamonix Troika gut strukturiert, voll und rund, mit einer angenehmen Geschmeidigkeit. Wieder ist die tolle Beerigkeit merklich. Feine Harmonie und aromatische Länge. „Kreiert für die Lagerung im Keller, aber die Tannine sind zugänglich“, urteilt Rudman. Dieser Wein hinterlässt schon in jungen Jahren Eindruck, wird aber seine Hochzeit in 10 bis 15 Jahren erreicht haben. Der „Bordeaux-Blend“ reifte für 18 Monate in französischen Eichenfässern, wobei zu 45% neue Fässer zum Einsatz kamen. Um die Komplexität des Weines zu erhöhen und die Vorzüge der einzelnen Rebsorten voll zur Entfaltung zu bringen, wurden die einzelnen Chargen erst kurz vor dem Abfüllen in die Flaschen assembliert. Viel Spaß beim Genuss des Chamonix Troika!
