Schoone Gevel Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2018

Nose: Upfront aromas of vibrant red fruit and notes of spices, supported by subtle oak nuances of mocha and cinnamon.
Palate: The wine boasts a well defined round and elegant structure and lush red berries, ensuring intriguing and juicy tannins. It reveals the best of both varieties in the blend and finishes in a soft, lingering after-taste.

Serve with flavourful meat dishes such as lamb accompanied by a sweet mint sauce, as well as Cape Malay curries and bobotie. Slow-cooked beef pot roast is an ideal partner to this blend.

about the harvest: Picked at 25 degrees Balling.
in the cellar : The blend was oak-staved, using premium French oak, for a period of 6 - 8 months. The French oak staves enhance the fruit flavours and lend structure to the wine.
Grapes originate from Swartland and Stellenbosch. Picked at 25 degrees Balling, sorted, de-stemmed, crushed and fermented  at between 25 and 27oC. After fermentation, the wine was left on French oak staves in the tank to finish the malolactic process.
