Lanzerac Jonkershoek Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
R265,00
This classic Cabernet shows inviting flavours of blackberry and youngberry with hints of cocoa, almond and cedar. A full-bodied wine with excellent balance on the palate and a smooth lingering aftertaste. The wine can be enjoyed now, but will benefit with a further 5-8 years of maturation.

In the cellar
All Cabernet grape bunches were hand sorted in the cellar upon intake before being destemmend. The loose berries underwent further hand sorting before being lightly crushed. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks with regular pump-overs occurring to extract colour and flavour. After fermenting dry, a portion of the wine was left on the skins for 2-3 weeks before being drained off and the skins pressed. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation in a selection of new, 2nd fill and 3rd fill French oak barrels for approximately 18 months. Regular racking resulted in excellent integration between wood, fruit and tannins
