Winemaker / Tasting Notes

Back in 1984, we called our single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon “La Femme Bleu”. At the time, it felt like a French name worked as a tribute to the region of Bordeaux. Of course, we now know that the coolest thing about this iconic wine is that it’s 100% African, and demonstrates to the world the true power of Stellenbosch terroir.

Beautiful purple colour, deep nose of dark berries, herbs, pencil shavings and cassis. Powerful tannins, signature to the 2018 vintage give backbone and grip to the palate. The dark berries for the initial nose carry through onto the palate, with notes of oak and crème de cassis. The finish is long and dry with a powerful finish, this will reward cellaring over the next 7-10 years.
