Kleine Zalze Family Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

  • Country South Africa
  • Region Stellenbosch
  • ABV 14.5 %
  • Producer Kleine Zalze
  • Case size 12/ 75cl
  • Just a hint of fynbos intermingling with deliciously dark flavours or currant and cherry on the bouquet. These follow on the palate with cedar and spice notes to support the mid-palate fruit. The supple tannin structure provides enough structure to remain serious but light enough to ensure it doesn't detract from the very long finish of the wine.

A careful selection was made in the vineyard, and after de-stemming, the grapes were fermented in a combination of stainless steel tanks and traditional open-top fermenters. We used a combination of punch downs and pump overs at different stages in fermentation. We tried to extract as much flavour and tannin as possible at the beginning of fermentation. Toward the end of the process, we drastically reduced the extraction. Usually, we limited it to only one pump per day to avoid over-extracting the wine and ensure we achieved the best balance. After primary fermentation, the grapes were gently pressed and transferred to French oak barrels, 75% new, 25% 2nd and 3rd fill, for 20 months before final blending.

Winery

The fruit for this wine was sourced from just 2 specific vineyard blocks on our farm. Even though winter was not as wet as in previous years, no supplementary irrigation was needed. A good balance of fruit concentration and elegance was achieved with very little intervention. A warm start to the season was followed by cooler conditions towards the latter part of harvest aided by later-ripening grapes, which meant we had very good flavour development in the Cabernet fruit.
