Description
Vineyard
The Stone Town Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2022 comes from vineyards on the rolling coastal hills south of Stellenbosch and in the cooler Darling region. The Atlantic Ocean sends refreshing breezes that slow ripening and extend the season. Because of this, the grapes develop rich flavours while keeping their natural freshness. In addition, the coastal soils and varied slopes add depth, shaping a wine with balance and character.
Tasting Notes
This wine pours a deep garnet in the glass. On the nose, it reveals classic Cabernet aromas of blackberries and plums, lifted by herbal notes and hints of cinnamon spice from time spent in French oak. The palate is medium-bodied and well-structured, with layers of red fruit, subtle oak spice and silky tannins. The finish is smooth, lingering and refined, making it a versatile and approachable expression of Cabernet and Merlot.
Food Pairing
This blend shines at the table. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roast lamb or a classic beef stew. The supple tannins also make it a great companion to charcuterie boards, mature cheeses or even a simple wood-fired pizza.
Cellar Potential
Enjoy the Stone Town Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2022 now for its vibrant fruit and supple texture, or cellar for up to five years to allow the flavours to develop further complexity.
