Product information "Stark-Condé Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon 2016"
The strong condé Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon is rich in complex aromas of blackberries, fragrant tea leaves and hints of cedar wood. The palate is lush and masterfully polished with concentrated notes of black fruit, mocha aromas and a finely balanced acidity. Characteristic for the Jonkershoek Valley is also the harmonious tannin structure and an impressively long finish.

The grapes were transported to the cellar in small crates and cooled down to 14 °C overnight. After a cold swelling phase of several days, fermentation was started with natural (about 15%) and selected yeasts. Each grape variety was aged separately for 18 months (30% new French 300 litre barrels). Once the blend has been made, it is aged in barrels for another 4 months. After a total of 20 months of barrel ageing, the wine is bottled unfiltered.
