About this Item

De Trafford
Cabernet Sauvignon, 2012
3 (1 x 3) 750ml

Wedged between the Stellenbosch and Helderberg mountains, situated on the beautiful Mont Fleur farm, is the boutique De Trafford winery. The Trafford family purchased the land in 1976 and a small vineyard was in place by 1983.

Critics Ratings

‘From 4 low-yield blocks 9-24 years old, liquorice-nuanced 2012 a fine ambassador for the variety: classic dark fruit, iodine & graphite spicing, stately structure. 35% new oak (23 months) well integrated, will assist cellaring decade or more.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2016, 4.5*

‘Bright ruby-red. Classic Cabernet scents of cassis, licorice and graphite minerality. Plush, fine-grained, rich and sweet, with concentrated, slightly high-toned black fruit, licorice and mineral flavors carrying beautifully on the ripely tannic, seamless, very long back end. Really spreads out to saturate the palate. Shows more structure than the comparatively creamy 2011.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 91+/100 (Mar 2017)
