Cederberg Five Generations Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Name: Cederberg Five Generations Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
Brand: Cederberg Five Generations
SKU: 41623

A premium wine in the Cederberg range, only 5 200 bottles produced every year. The 18 months of maturation in new French oak has intensified the rich aromas of blackcurrant and cassis, layered with decadent dark chocolate and cherry tobacco. A velvety texture that lingers on the palate with a distinct blackcurrant aftertaste. A ripe tannin structure from the grapes hanging up to 18 days longer in the vineyard, gives this wine the potential to mature for many years to come.
