Joostenberg Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

The first Myburgh to farm at Joostenberg was Philipus Albertus Myburgh and 5-generations later his off-spring are still tilling the soil and acting as custodians of this little patch of earth. It's a classically styled Cabernet leaning towards the old world. Grapes were hand-picked and destemmed. Fermentation occurred in small open-topped tanks with regular punch-downs. Maturation occurred in small, French-oak barrels for a period of 18 months.

Cedar wood and blackberry aromas immediately identify this wine as a Cabernet Sauvignon. The palate is in the classic mode i.e. medium bodied with a long finish, marked by elegant, dry tannins.
