Description:
This wine is perfect to be enjoyed on its own, but can also be paired with a variety of dishes ranging from a simple pizza to a juicy sirloin steak. It shows the distinct dark berry and pencil shaving flavours which you would expect from a Cabernet Sauvignon but has fine tannins that are lifted by an elegant acidity.
More Details:
Cabernet Sauvignon has always been seen as a big, bold and very tannic wine...the king of the reds. It is traditionally marketed as a wine to keep for at least three years before even thinking of opening a bottle. But at Waterkloof we believe that it does not always have to be big and gutsy to make an impression. We look for vineyard sites that are able to produce wines with notable elegance and freshness, allied with a fine texture.
The grapes for our Peacock Wild Ferment Cabernet Sauvignon are sourced from the cooler slopes of the Helderberg ward on the coastal outreaches of Stellenbosch. Deep red soils provide moisture and nutrients, which give this Cabernet its supple, dark berry character. This cooler area also allows a longer ripening period, which imparts balanced flavours and elegant tannins to this red varietal.
