Beyerskloof Eerste Ry Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Intense dark fruit and cassis upon entry with delicate spice and savoury aromas from the new oak. A structured Cab with excellent complexity but still great balance. Hints of dark chocolate add to a long smooth finish. Upfront dark fruit/cassis compliments the spicy cedar oak aromas from the oak and hints of pencil shavings.

Pairs well with rib-eye, fillet mignon, and Portobello mushrooms risotto.

Translating to ‘First Row’, the Eerste Ry is our first Cabernet Sauvignon in the Beyerskloof portfolio, produced from the first grapes ever planted on Beyerskloof. Eerste Ry symbolically refers to the oldest vineyards planted and pays homage to where it all started.

in the vineyard : The soil of these vineyards is a combination of Clovelly and Kroonstad.

about the harvest: Grapes were picked at optimum ripeness from our oldest vineyards on the farm.

in the cellar : Made in open fermenters, on the skins for 7 days at an average temp. of 25°C. Punching of the cap was done every 2 hours to extract good colour and flavours from the grapes. After malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine aged in 100% new French oak for 24 months. Aer bottling, the wine is stored for 2 years before being released for sale.
