The vineyards for the Cabernet are all located on the Plaisir Estate on the south-eastern slopes of the Simonsberg, planted in weathered soils composed of decomposed granite, shaded by the high mountain peaks, so they benefit indirectly from the hot afternoon sun. this slows down the ripening, allowing gradual development on the vine, resulting in richly complex wines with lovely ripe tannins. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eThe wine is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon, leafy on the nose, with notes of blackberry, red currants and graphite – wonderfully clean and fresh, and very typical in style. Flavours carry through to the palate where the wine is mouth filling but soft and silky in texture, and very moreish. The 14.5% alcohol is well hidden between layers of lush, vibrant red berry, black cherry and plum flavours, finishing with violets and a hint of mint and clove. This is delicious now and opens up beautifully over an hour or two in the glass, but should easily last another 4-5 years in the cellar, if well kept. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e4.5 John Platter Stars \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eDecanter Silver Medal\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eIWSC Gold Medal\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica', sans-serif;\"\u003eOn order - stock will be ready in 2-3 weeks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e","brand":"Cellar Select","offers":[{"title":"In Bond (For Storage)","offer_id":52970598793544,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Duty Paid inc VAT (For UK Delivery)","offer_id":52970598826312,"sku":null,"price":203.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/7391\/4696\/files\/PlaisirCabernetSauvignon.jpg?v=1777026666"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.cellarselect.co.uk\/collections\/south-africa-red.oembed","provider":"Cellar Select","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
