Exceptional cassis and cloves, with a touch of dried herb and vanilla aromas. The palate delights with elegant flavours of blueberries and cherries followed by well-structured and firm tannins.

ABOUT THE DIEMERSFONTEIN CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2022

WINEMAKING	Grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness and fermented separately using commercial yeast strains along with malolactic bacteria. Fermentation takes up to 10 days. Wine is pumped over every 4 hours. After fermentation the tanks are pressed and racked into 3rd and 4th fill 225L barrels where the wine will stay for 12 months. After maturation the batches are carefully blended together, stabilised and bottled.
TASTING NOTES	Cassis and cloves with a touch of dried herb and vanilla aromas. The plate delights with elegant flavours of dark red fruit, followed by well integrated subtle tannins.
FOOD PAIRING	This wine pairs well with hearty and rich dishes, but can also accompany a herb crusted rack of lamb, grilled steak and even Grandma’s simple meatballs.
