Stark-Conde Oude Nektar Cabernet Sauvignon

R1,050.00

Arguably one of Stellenbosch’s highest Cabernet vineyards, this wine is crafted from the estate’s highest elevation vineyard situated at 550m. The site boasts stoney decomposed granite soils and an ideal aspect toward the afternoon sun. Despite being cooled by a gentle breeze, this vineyard benefits from an additional 45 minutes of sunlight daily, resulting in a slower ripening period. Following a Bordeaux-style blend, this wine is aged for approximately 20 months in French oak barrels, with 70% new oak, before being bottled without fining or filtration.

Hand-picked and carefully crafted, this wine features a firm tannin structure woven with the essence typical of Jonkershoek Valley wines. The vineyard’s 500-metre elevation and unique soil composition result in extended sunlight exposure, enriching the grapes with exceptional quality.

After spending 22 months in small French oak barrels, this wine captures the essence of its terroir, highlighting the best of Stellenbosch winemaking.
