Winemaker’s Comments

This is a typical Polkadraai Hills Cabernet Sauvignon – showing impressive freshness, refined dark fruit, and elegance. It is sourced from a single vineyard block next to the cellar, but small additions of bush vine-grown Cabernet Franc (6%) and Malbec (3%) add layers of complexity and texture.

Maturation Potential

This wine is drinking beautifully on release but will gain in composure and complexity for at least 8 or more years.
