Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva

Stellenbosch Estate · Stellenbosch · South Africa

Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva is an red wine from South Africa, in the Stellenbosch region (South Africa's Western Cape, in a valley around the historic university town of Stellenbosch, near Cape Town.), made principally from Cabernet Sauvignon. a reserve-tier Stellenbosch cabernet sauvignon that represents the region's premium bottled expression.

In character, this core tier delivers the classic cabernet sauvignon profile — blackcurrant, bell pepper, mint, graphite — with the structural stamp of Stellenbosch and a high-bodied presence. This profile reflects published sources, winery information and regional reference material, researched editorially rather than tasted blind.
