The South
African vineyard due much to the Europeans who worked in that Holy
land. On the one hand the Dutchs established the first
vineyards, and the Frenchs (Huguenot monks) brought their
savoir-faire to achieve the quality of the wine. At that time
(XVII century) the most famous wine in the country was the sweet
Muscat of Constantia. Currently, after the overcoming of phylloxera
and the abolition of the Apartheid, a drinkable and successful wine
has been obtained for the British and European market.
Visually
a very very deep color with also colored jambs sign of a great
straction. In nose: there are a good complexity. Spicy,
sauvage fruits, cocoa or red pepper hints. The floral notes are in
second place. In mouth a powerful and fruity entry (ripe fruits in
alcohol ). An intense, powerful mouthfeel (14% vol. in alcool). A
rich, fruity and
sweet development. A good freshness and structure when it is
served arond 13º C. A warm finish still fruity and earthy and
alcohol fruits reminds.
The
Cabernet Sauvignon variety, which already contributes structure and
polyphenols, is associated with a climate of great insolation to
produce a powerful red wine.
It is preferable, given its melted tannin to consume this reference
during the year. As a pairing you have to look for a good Bobotie
: consists of spiced minced
meat baked with an egg-based topping. A
very South African price of around 5 euros
to enjoy a Cabernet with the power of a lion.
