This wine has a deep garnet colour, youthful red tint and the characteristics of cool area grapes with Eucalyptus leave, blue/wild berries, delicate chocolate and mocha texture. The wine is typical New World – very upfront fruit. On the palate are showing soft tannins, well balanced with wood vanilla. The Nederburg Cabernet Sauvignon 2001 vintage is a generous, well-balanced wine where youth and elegant ripe fruit are well blended with gentle maturation flavours. The wine goes well with paté, mature cheese, red meat – steak, full-flavoured meat dishes such as beef stroganoff, winter stews, roast leg of lamb and roast venison.
