About the Winery
the den Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
About the wine
Social wines to be enjoyed with friends and family, these wines are named for the den, the heart of all painted wolf communities. Flavour-packed, soft and juicy comfort wines.
A crowd-pleasing medium-bodied wine with typical Cab flavours of red and black berries and cigar box with a touch of toasty oak. The wine has a lovely rich mid-mouth texture and a long, fruit-driven finish with fresh acid and firm tannins which will soften with a little bottle age.
Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from the Botteleray area of Stellenbosch, Agter Paarl and Swartland.
