We are proud to announce that South African Airways have selected our Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot for your enjoyment on their route network and in their airport lounges.
The Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot has intense black currant plum and spice on the nose. These flavours follow through on the palate coupled with a rich juiciness and soft, silky tannins. The grapes are sourced from Compagniesdrifts’ own vineyards in Stellenbosch - well drained decomposed granite topsoil with clay subsoil. The Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2014 was vinified from selected fruit from low-yielding mature vineyards. The vines are densely planted on gravelly, low vigour Vilafontes and Dundee soil which has approximately 15% clay to ensure water availability to the vine's roots right through the growing season. Approximately 30% of the bunches were removed at veraison to increase concentration and complexity of the wine.
