Land of Hope Reserve Cabernet 2018
Land of Hope Reserve Cabernet 2018
SOUTH AFRICA
Top Cabernet Sauvignon is synonymous with South Africa’s traditionally most recognised wine region, Stellenbosch. This wine is from a single vineyard, rooted in magnificent decomposed granite & clay soils on the Helderberg Mountain in Stellenbosch. These ocean-facing vines produce some of the most complex fruit and individual flavours of the land, combining the geological and climatic uniqueness of this site. In 2018 we experienced a dry winter, but sufficient cold units had been accumulated for the full breaking of dormancy. Above average warm weather during August continues throughout Spring and Summer and caused the grapes to mature early.
This Cabernet Sauvignon has depth and fullness with a plush and rounded structure and at the same has the restraint to remain elegantly poised. Amazing fruit purity in the shape of an expressive blueberry note rewards and intrigues. This is a natural interpretation of our site, on our land where we live and raise our children – and our fruit.
