Braai Cabernet Sauvignon Western Cape 2023 750 ML

The grapes were harvested by hand in the cool early morning. They were gently de-stemmed and sorted before being crushed and pumped to stainless steel tanks for fermentation. A combination of punch-downs and pump-overs were performed regularly during fermentation to facilitate the extraction of color, tannins and fruit aromas. Following fermentation, the tanks were drained and the skins gently pressed. Approximately 25% of the wine was aged in a combination of 225 liter and 300 liter French oak barrels for a maturation period of 12 months. The remainder was aged in stainless steel tanks.nnThe earliest archaeological evidence of barbecue (Braai) is found in South Africa. On September 24th of each year the country celebrates Heritage Day, which in 2007 was renamed Braai4Heritage as a testament to its cultural importance in South Africa. The essence of braai is captured in this bold Cabernet, which displays aromas and flavors of dark berries, earth and smoke—perfect for socializing and the ideal complement to a wide range of BBQ-friendly flavors.n
