Knorhoek Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

This wine opens with red berries, cranberries, and cassis aromas, followed by layers of sour cherry, flint, and leather. The palate reveals juicy dark fruits and ripe plums, wrapped in soft velvety tannins for a refined texture. The wine's harmonious balance shines through, combining its youthful exuberance with nuanced complexity. The finish is enduring, leaving a satisfying memory of dark fruit flavors and gentle elegance.

in the vineyard : The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grow high in the hills above Knorhoek in highly oxidised Hutton and Clovelly soils to provide the perfect terroir for an authentic and balanced Cabernet Sauvignon. In summer, the north-facing hills are cooled off by Atlantic sea winds to ensure that the ripening process is slow, which creates a perfect balance between sugar and flavour

in the cellar : Wines were left to age in 52% 1st fill French oak and 17% 2nd fill French oak 225L barrels. After  approximately 24 months wines were removed from their ageing vessels, then blended, and prepared  for bottling. The final wine was aged in bottle for 1 years before commercial release.
