About this Item

Cabernet, 1959
1 (1 x 1) 375ml

With its history dating back to 1692, Lanzerac Wine Estate is one of South Africa’s most famous properties. Their signature ‘ten-pin’ shaped bottle from the 60s and 70s is unique and the wines within have stood the test of time. Lanzerac produced the first commercial Pinotage in the world with the 1959.

This wine has been checked and re-corked by Amorim cork under supervision of auction curator Higgo Jacobs, assuring provenance, quality and long life. Seal code WI-057146 can be traced on Amorim Recorking Directory

Critics Ratings

'An impression of boiled sweets is generally dominated by dank, weedy, evolved notes. The fruit has largely faded while the acidity is quite tart, the finish a little astringent.' - Christian Eedes (Apr 2022)

Provenance

The Distell Tabernacle - Stellenbosch
