Landskroon Paul de Villiers Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

This Cabernet Sauvignon has been made from grapes picked at optimum ripeness and vinified using a combination of modern and traditional techniques. This wine is full-bodied with delicious rich flavours of black berry and piquant pepper supported by tones of spicy oak gained from aging in new oak barriques.

An ideal accompaniment to most meats and cheeses.
