Chapters Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Hand-harvested grapes from a 2001 Polkadraai vineyard on decomposed granite soils. Naturally fermented after a 5-day cold soak and aged for 22 months in French oak barrels, 15% being new.

This wine has a brilliant deep garnet colour. The nose is intense with dark heady aromas of cassis, blackberries, dried herbs, tobacco spice and hints of vanilla. The palate is full bodied with dark fruits on the entry, there is a rich mid-palate of blackcurrant, cedar, dried Italian herbs and toasted notes. The tannins are firm and lingering leading to a dry finish.
