Blaauwklippen Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Dark blueberry, mulberry and cassis notes merge with dark chocolate, fruitcake and cedarwood nuances on the multifaceted nose. Textured tannins and a creamy mid palate lead to a plush finish with great elegance and fruit purity.

Founded in 1682, Blaauwklippen is one of the oldest wine farms in Stellenbosch. Etched between ancient blue granite boulders on the slopes of mineral-rich mountain soils, we produce authentic wines in harmony with the simplicity of country living

about the harvest: Handpicked grapes were carefully transported to the cellar for crushing.

in the cellar : Whole berry fermentation commenced in French oak casks and stainless-steel tanks. Twice daily pump-overs ensured the delicate extraction of tannins and flavours. Prolonged skin contact of approximately 14 days were given after fermentation, before pressing. Malo lactic fermentation commenced in 300L French oak barrels. This wine was matured for 17months in barrel, with 30% new oak used.
