Tasting Note

This wine greets with an inky, dark velvety colour and an abundant nose with black pastilles, black cherries and ripe plums. Cedar box and pencil shavings speak of time spent in French oak barrels. This is classic cool-climate Cape Cabernet at its best – polished, with refined tannins and a long, persistent finish. Remarkably drinkable right now, but will reward for many years to come. - Sandy Harper

Perfect for special occasions, Cederberg Five Generations Cabernet Sauvignon is a velvety testament to South Africa's viticultural promise.
