Kleine Zalze Cellar Selection Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied South African red wine with a vibrant garnet hue. This delightful vintage presents an alluring melange of ripe blackcurrant, mint and spice on the nose. The palate is met with robust tannins, complemented by balanced acidity and a hint of vanilla, culminating in a long, satisfying finish. Expertly crafted and matured in French oak barrels, this Cabernet Sauvignon, with its depth and complexity, is an ideal accompaniment to a sumptuous roast dinner or a hearty steak. Truly, a testament to Kleine Zalze's dedication to quality and tradition.

Tasting Notes

Lots of dark fruit on the nose with spice, leather and pencil shaving. Bold and concentrated on the palate with chalky tannin and a long, lingering finish
