KWV Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

The wine shows good varietal characteristics with upfront cherry fruit which is in perfect balance with oaky vanilla flavours, due to careful maturation in oak. Excellent follow-through on the palate where the soft/ripe tannins linger on the senses. The wine has good acid structure that balances well with the tannic structure and contributes to its elegant finish.

Ideal with ostrich steak, grilled rosemary-flavoured lamb, oxtail and steak.
