Windmeul Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

The Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve shows deep ruby red colours. The palate is full flavoured and smoothly textured, with a long lingering wood aftertaste. The wine is well balanced between red berries and prunes with pencil lead on the palate.

Any traditional South African dish is paired expectantly well with our unique wine. Paired well with any grilled, braised or roasted red meats served with a mushroom or mustard sauce.
