Inky plum-black in the glass, this flagship Cabernet Sauvignon by Cederberg Wines opens with an opulent nose of ripe blackcurrant, black cherry and savoury black olive, layered with cedar, mocha and dark chocolate. The palate is plush and powerful – rich in black fruit and pastille intensity – yet finely balanced by fresh acidity and sculpted, chalky tannins. A wine of stature and precision, with the structure to age gracefully for over a decade. Already drinking beautifully, it’s a compelling expression of high-altitude, cool-climate Cabernet Sauvignon.
With its depth and poise, this Cabernet calls for bold yet elegant fare. Serve it with dry-aged ribeye finished with rosemary salt, slow-roasted lamb shoulder, or earthy wild mushroom risotto with generous amounts of parmesan cheese. Its savoury edge also complements black olive tapenade. For cheese, try aged comté or mature gouda. Keep the flavours focused and layered.
