Wildekrans Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

Selected from low yielding vineyards these grapes are picked with ripe raspberry and blackcurrant fruit flavours. The wine is well structured and complex from careful ageing in French Barriques. An elegant example of cool climate Cabernet which is ready to drink now or can be cellared for another five years.
