Steenkamp Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot 2018

R2010,00 per case

The 4 best barrels in the cellar were selected for this Cabernet Sauvignon (50%) and Merlot (50%) blend. Full-bodied, fruity wine with black pepper, nut and berry aromas on the nose.

The tannins are well structured and in perfect harmony. Very good ageing potential.

A tribute from son (Piet) to father (Kosie) dedication to their family farm as well as their good friendship
