Golden Kaan Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

This Cabernet Sauvignon shows good varietal characteristics with with upfront cherry fruit which is in perfect balance with oaky vanilla flavours, due to careful maturation on oak. There is 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.
