About this Item
Cabernet 1961
3 (1 x 3) 375ml
These were bushvines with a low yield and hence the delicious Cabernet Sauvignon flavours after so many years. This 1961 was one of the final few to be bottled at Lanzerac, with production on the farm ceasing in the early 1970s, making this truly a collector's item. The 1961 is mature and elegant with ample Cabernet Sauvignon character and savoury nuances.

Critics Ratings
When tasting this wine, among other legendary Cape reds of the time, Neal Martin admitted that this has forced him to rethink his views on the potential of Cape wine: "If this was what was being produced in SA at the time Bordeaux was producing the legendary 1961s, he observed, the Cape should not be treated as a newcomer on the world scene."
