Martin Meinert, Cabernet Sauvignon, 75cl

🍷 Meinert – Cabernet Sauvignon
South Africa | Western Cape | 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Style: Still Red Wine | Winemaking: Hand-harvested grapes from select Western Cape vineyards, traditionally vinified and aged in French oak barrels to soften structure and build depth, while retaining purity of fruit
Farming: From diverse vineyard sites across the Western Cape, where warm days, cool nights, and well-drained soils produce Cabernet with concentration, balance, and a distinctive South African edge

🍇 A classic Cape Cabernet—bold, polished, and full of character.

👁 In the Glass:
Deep ruby with garnet tones—intense and expressive.

👃 On the Nose:
Complex and inviting. Aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and dried herbs are layered with cedar, tobacco leaf, and a touch of graphite and spice from oak maturation.

👅 On the Palate:
Full-bodied and structured. Ripe dark fruit is framed by firm yet refined tannins and balanced acidity. Subtle notes of mocha, bay leaf, and pencil shavings lead into a long, savoury finish.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Perfect with grilled steaks, rosemary lamb, beef stew, or aged cheddar. A bold red made for hearty fare and rich, meaty dishes.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Excellent now with decanting, and will evolve gracefully over 6–10 years.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Meinert’s Cabernet Sauvignon is a true expression of the Cape—powerful, structured, and elegantly composed. A wine that delivers classic varietal depth with a uniquely South African soul.
