Cabernet Sauvignon.

Found mostly at the Cape in South Africa, Cabernet Sauvignon grapes — sometimes blended with Merlot or Cabernet Franc, sometimes not — age into some of the best peppery reds, which display a complex range of dark cherry, cedar, and black currant flavours.

Stellenbosch is, in the minds of many, the finest wine area in South Africa, claiming the crown for reds.
With a list of more than 80 wineries and producers, it is also the most expensive wine farmland. Nearly all the most famous international names in South African wines are found here in an area reaching from sea-facing slopes to valley-hugging hills.  The list of wine farms in this region is endless. This is also where Distell, the country’s largest player in the drinks market, is seated. Designated wards within the district are Jonkershoek Valley, Simonsberg-Stellenbosch, Bottelary, Devon Valley and Papegaaiberg.

Cabernet sauvignon, merlot, pinotage and chenin blanc are the stars here.

Happy Drinking till next time!
