Kaapzicht Skemerlig Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

• Region: South Africa
• Sub-Region: Bottelary Hills, Stellenbosch

Vineyard "Skemerlig" translates to twilight—referencing the lingering evening light over the Bottelary Hills. Grown on cool, granite-rich hillside vineyards overlooking Table Bay.

Wine An expressive and polished Cabernet featuring deep aromas of dark plum, cassis, cigar box, and hints of dried fynbos scrub. Full-bodied and expansive on the palate, offering concentrated blackberry and mocha flavors supported by structured, fine-grained tannins and a crisp, mineral-driven backbone.
