Franschhoek Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon (The Churchyard) 2022
A wine that symbolises longevity, like the legacy of the original Huguenot families which has endured long after they were buried in the town’s original churchyard. Blackcurrants and violets captivate on entry, followed by concentrated dark berry flavours and spicy tobacco oak.

The vineyards were planted on particular soil types to allow for the optimum vine growth balance. The silky, fine tannin structure and prominent black fruit are typical of Franschhoek.
Cold macerated on the skins for 24 hours before inoculation took place, with selected yeast and fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Maximum colour and flavour extraction were achieved by gentle pumpovers and punchdowns three times a day before gentle maturation in French oak for eight to 12 months.
