Auction Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Wine of Origin: Stellenbosch
Winemaker: Erika Obermeyer

At the foot of the Helderberg, Firgrove vineyards benefit from unique decomposed granite soil that nurtures the vines by allowing roots to access water and nutrients gradually during ripening. Proximity to the cold Atlantic Ocean ensures slow ripening, while persistent winds control vigour, yielding small, concentrated berries with ripe tannins. The cool 2022 vintage allowed extended hang-time, yielding perfect phenolic ripeness, vibrant acidity and superb cellar potential.

Tasting Notes: This is a Cabernet of maritime precision. Red and black fruit, together with cedar and tobacco spice, lead to a concentrated palate of structural depth. Fine, chalky tannins anchor a long, savoury finish. The overall expression is pure and refined.

A wine with extraordinary cellaring potential that will evolve beautifully for 10 to 15 years.
