Hoopenburg Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Tasting Notes
Analysis & Info

The wine displays a dense opaque colour. A beautiful expression of ripe black berry fruit with hints of violets. With aeration, the aromas evolve and notes of blueberry coats the nose with perfume aromas of dried fynbos and traces of aniseed. The tannins are well integrated. On the finish the tannins create a dryness, while the fruit expose sweetness that lingers on the palate.
