More Information

In the cellar

The grapes are laid for 8 days on skins in rotor fermenters at 25°C. The juice is then matured for 24 months in new 225 liter 100% classic French oak barrels from Tonnellerie Bossuet.

In the vineyard

The vines for which the grapes were harvested for this wine are 18 years old and due to the low rainfall, drier ripening season with cooler nights and warm, dry days during picking the grapes were smaller berries, with excellent colour and flavour intensity, harvested at optimum phenolic ripeness.The soil for the vines are decomposed granite, Oakleaf and Tukulu soils.

Ageing

This excellent 2018 vintage will peak from mid 2021 to 2031 when tertiary aromas will start to develop.

Cultivar

Cabernet Sauvignon

About the Wine Estate

Koelenhof Wine Cellar is situated among vineyard-covered slopes, 14 kilometres outside the beautiful town of Stellenbosch in the Western Cape region of South Africa. As far as Stellenbosch wine farms go, visitors can expect to find a wide range of products and services at their winery. Koelenhof Wine Cellar emerged from humble beginnings as a bulk wine producer. The grower-owned winery was established in 1941, with the De Vries family at the helm. Members of the family continue to play an integral role at the winery, supported by a dedicated team of staff and loyal partners. Today, Koelenhof presses 16,000 tons of grapes every year – the fruit of the labour and commitment of 70 local shareholders.
