Babylonstoren Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Rich, dark berry fruit at its core and a savoury edge of wild herbs, graphite and cedar. The wine is dense and brooding with plump blackcurrant fruit moderated by a backbone of fine-grained, grippy tannins, creating lovely tension and succulence.
Beautifully balanced and stylish with classic cultivar expression; the savoury finish is long and satisfying.

Beef fillet, oxtail or even something as simple as a delicious platter of venison charcuterie.
