A varietal Cabernet Sauvignon made by Ginny Povall in the Stellenbosch, just west of Cape Town. The grapes are from the Protea Hights farm which began life in the 1940's as a farm for South Africa's national flower, the protea flower. Now under Ginny Povall's ownership, the farm is a mix of indigenous flowers and organic grapes.
The wine itself is made by destemming the grapes before the crush which are then fremented in open top tanks with twice daily punch downs. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for 11 months in 2nd, 3rd and 4th fill 300L French oak barrels.
This powerful yet lively cab has notes of fig newtons, walnut skins, graphite, and cassis.
