Cabernet Sauvignon - Helderberg Winery

Helderberg Winery's Cabernet Sauvignon from the South African wine-growing region of Stellenbosch is a dense, full-bodied and varietally pure picture-book Cabernet Sauvignon.

In the glass, this wine shimmers a rich ruby red with purple highlights. This South African red wine has an enticing bouquet of black currant, plum and cedar notes. The tannin is wonderfully silky and harmonizes perfectly with the firm, balanced acid structure. No less attractive is the mineral imprint that permeates this South African wine and noticeably increases its appeal. The long finish reveals a pleasant fresh tone, which is mainly due to the influences of the nearby ocean.

Vinification of the Helderberg Cabernet 

By hand, the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are harvested in Stellenbosch, South Africa. Once the grapes arrive at the Helderberg winery, they are first cold macerated. This red wine is then fermented in stainless steel tanks. This involves remontage three times a day for just under 2 weeks. Finally, this wine is aged in French oak barrels (30% new wood).
