Vriesenhof Cabernet Sauvignon 2024

Vriesenhof Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic expression of Stellenbosch's flagship grape, grown on the weathered granite and clay-rich soils of the Vriesenhof estate on the foothills of the Stellenbosch Mountain. Hand-picked in the cool of the morning, the wine shows youthful, bright red colour and varietal notes of cassis, redcurrant and liquorice, marrying well with fine oak aromas for a complex nose. The densely structured palate delivers compact, chalky tannins alongside classic Cabernet fruit, with 15 months in second-, third- and fourth-fill French oak barrels adding real complexity and length. A savoury, food-friendly red, it's built for grilled red meat, lamb chops, aged sirloin steak or a good hearty stew.
