Simonsig Labyrinth Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Name: Simonsig Labyrinth Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
Brand: Simonsig Labyrinth
SKU: 50069

The wine has a crimson colour with a dark core. A perfume of wild blackberry and cranberry fills the glass with gentle hints of violets, cocoa and cured meat savouriness. On the palate, there are complex flavours of creamy strawberry, ripe plum and a touch of tilled earth and fynbos. It is a well-balanced wine with fine, well-integrated tannins that leaves a long dry finish.

Braised short rib with turnips and carrot purée. Deboned lamb rib with charred cauliflower and jus. Flavourful and heartier pastas.

Simonsig has been producing Cabernet Sauvignon since 1976 and achieved early success when the 1977 vintage won the General Smuts trophy after being judged as the Champion Wine of South Africa.

Simonsig replanted and expanded its planting of Cabernet Sauvignon over the last decade and it now has mature vineyards planted with the best clones available in South Africa. These shy-bearing vineyards are planted on deep red weathered granite and shale soils with high moisture holding capacity. This minimises the need for irrigation and gives great concentration of flavour. Our terroir in Stellenbosch has proved over many years to be the best area in SA to grow the finest quality red wines.

in the cellar : 12 Months in French oak barrels: 40% 1st fill; 15% 2nd fill; 20% 3rd fill & 25% older barrels.
