Cabernet Sauvignon Western Cape - KWV

With the KWV Cabernet Sauvignon Western Cape comes a first-class red wine in the wine glass. In this it shows a wonderfully dense, purple color. The bouquet of this red wine from the Western Cape convinces with nuances of blackberry, black cherry, morello cherry and plum. If we trace the aromatics further, cocoa bean, black tea and cinnamon come in.

The KWV Cabernet Sauvignon Western Cape delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with 2.7 grams of residual sugar. As you would naturally expect from a wine in the upper price range, this South African naturally enraptures with the finest balance despite all its dryness. Excellent taste does not necessarily need a lot of residual sugar. This velvety red wine is full-bodied and multifaceted on the palate. Due to the balanced fruit acidity, the Cabernet Sauvignon Western Cape flatters with a velvety palate feeling, without lacking freshness at the same time. In the finish, this youthful red wine from the wine-growing region of the Western Cape finally inspires with considerable length. Hints of black cherry and mulberry are again evident.

This powerful red wine from South Africa is vinified from the Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety. After the grape harvest, the grapes are quickly taken to the press house.
