The King of red wine grapes, Cabernet Sauvignon is closely linked to the history of Diemersdal and Durbanville, a region that has produced some of South Africa’s most famous wines from this variety. This bold, elegant and complex red wine encapsulates the commitment to excellence in wine-making as well as the understanding of Diemersdal terroir as shown by generations of the Louw family.
in the vineyard : The vines are rooted in deep red Hutton soils on north-facing slopes, catching the southerly breezes of summer and the frontal winds that punish the Cape from the north in winter. Cool growing conditions on exposed aspects, as well as the practise of dryland farming, sees the fruit develop slowly, drawing maximum variety expression on the vine. The result is tight bunches of small berries, ideal for making wines of structure, elegance and refinement.
