The grapes for the Nederburg Cabernet Sauvignon were sourced from vineyards in and around the Western Cape. Planted between 1990 and 1998, the vines are grown in decomposed granite on a southerly slope, situated some 50m to 150m above sea level. The grapes were harvested by hand and machine at 23º to 25º Balling from mid-February until the end of March. The fruit was crushed and fermented on the skins in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 25ºC to 28ºC for two weeks. Upon completion of malolactic fermentation the wine was matured in wood for a period of approximately 12 months. The Nederburg Cabernet Sauvignon is a deep ruby in colour. The nose has aromas of blackcurrants and cherries with nuances of vanilla in the background. A full-bodied wine with ripe fruit, cherry and delicate oak spice flavours, firm tannins and a lingering aftertaste. Excellent served with robust dishes such as patés and steaks, as well as full-bodied dishes such as beef stroganoff, winter stews, roasts and mature cheeses.
