Description: Anthonij Rupert Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 is a refined and expressive South African red that beautifully showcases the power and elegance of Cabernet from the Franschhoek terroir. Fruit is harvested by hand from carefully managed parcels, fermented with native yeasts and then aged for 24 months in 80% new French oak barrels before extended bottle ageing — a winemaking approach that lends both structure and depth to the wine. In the glass it reveals a deep ruby colour with an enticing bouquet of dark fruitcake, cassis and cherry blossom, accented by violet perfume and a hint of cocoa powder. On the palate, the wine is bright and juicy yet dry and structured, with ripe dark fruit, refined oak support and fresh acidity providing balance and a lengthy, elegant finish.
