The Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards of Oude Kaap are perfectly situated in Franschhoek. The bunches enjoy the warm summers but also receive ample cooling from the ocean breeze. The nights are cool, allowing the harvest to rest while the bunches mature. The soil is a treasure trove for the ancient vines. Wine has been grown on these soils for hundreds of years, and that's precisely why the Cabernet Sauvignon derives so much strength. With its deep roots, they can easily absorb moisture and nutrients from the soil. After harvest, this Cabernet Sauvignon is aged for several months in oak barrels, giving this red wine even more power. This is why it deserves the name Reserve Collection.
Everything about this wine is perfect. The color is a beautiful deep red; just using your eyes will make you thirsty. Use your nose in this Oude Kaap Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve and you'll be amazed. Characteristic of a Cabernet Sauvignon is the aroma of cassis and cherries. These aromas are also clearly present in this South African wine. The taste is sublime. Simply wonderful! Cassis, blackberries, and cherries. Take another sip and you'll discover other flavors. The palate is broad: black pepper, light spices, but the oak is clearly present and gives a pleasant strength to this top South African wine! Oude Kaap Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve will surprise you, and you'll never want anything else!
