Organic Not Extinct Cabernet Sauvignon

The vines are located near Wellington, at the foot of the Hawequa Mountains; according to the estate, they grow on gentle slopes, while an independent industry source identifies weathered granite as the dominant soil. The wine was aged for three years in 225-litre oak barrels. The nose shows plum, mulberry and mint, followed later by chocolate and blackcurrant. On the palate, juicy blackberry and cherry fruit is joined by cinnamon, mace and a touch of vanilla. The body is dry and fruit-driven, with fresh acidity and firm, ripe tannins. A distinctive feature is the dedication to the Berg River redfin fish, rediscovered in the nearby river; R10 per bottle was donated to the Endangered Wildlife Trust.
