Knorhoek, Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Knorhoek Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is a classic, old-school Cabernet with modern precision: deep, layered, and built around a firm yet polished backbone. It combines the hallmark depth of blackcurrant and cassis with cedar, graphite, and a touch of eucalyptus, making it a compelling South African red with both immediate appeal and a little room to evolve.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby-red colour that hints at its concentration. The nose opens with blackcurrant and cassis, then moves into cedar, graphite, and a subtle eucalyptus note, while a little air reveals dark chocolate and bay leaf. The palate is firm but well-handled, with ripe tannins that provide structure without feeling heavy. Blackberry and black cherry lead the flavour profile, supported by spice and a discreet smokiness, while fresh acidity keeps the wine lively through a long, dry finish. Enjoy now, or cellar for a few more years to let the layers knit together further.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for grilled red meats, lamb chops, and mature cheeses. Serve slightly below room temperature, ideally around 16–18°C, and decant for about 30–60 minutes if drinking young to soften the tannins and open up the aromatics.
