This is absolutely stunning Cabernet Sauvignon from husband and wife team, Mick and Jeanine Craven out of Stellenbosch, South Africa. Vineyards are planted at high elevation and benefit from a cooling effect from the winds off of False Bay. This slows the ripening process, which in turn helps to retain acidity and allow the berries to develop a wonderful complexity. Fruit is then fermented 65% whole cluster and aged in neutral barrels for 10 months before bottling. The end result is a wine that is excellently balanced. There is all of the depth and flavor of Cabernet Sauvignon here with great acidity and just enough oak.
