About this Item

Cabernet Sauvignon, 1982
1 (1 x 1) 3000ml

Le Bonheur dates back to the 1790s. This 163-hectare estate is situated along the slopes of the Klapmuts Hill in the northern reaches of the Simonsberg ward.

Much like the 70s, the even vintages are the standouts from the 80s, with 1982 being probably the finest of them all.

Critics Ratings

'The 100% Cabernet from 1982 vintage has been well aged in small wood, giving a beautiful full-flavoured wine which has every potential to develop in the bottle to become one of the Cape’s great Cabernets.’Dave Hughes, Wine Buyer’s Guide 1993 edition. 4*
