A beautiful wine with rich garnet hues. Full bodied with exceptional character, intense dark fruit flavours, subtle violet undertones with a hint of liquorice and earthiness. The French Oak is perfectly balanced for a lovely lingering finish.

More Information - Peter Falke Cabernet Sauvignon

Only grapes of exceptional quality are selected and sorted in the vineyard leaving sun-burnt berries on the vines. In the cellar, the grapes go through another selection process before de-stemming. No crushing of the berries takes place and fermentation starts naturally after 3 -4 days of cold-soaking at 15°C. The grapes are left on the skins for 25-35 days to create velvety smooth tannins. The wine is lightly pressed and then matured in new French oak barrels for 18 months.

Back Story & Wine Information

The exclusive winery of Peter Falke is nestled against the majestic slopes of the Helderberg Mountains in the heart of the Stellenbosch winelands, South Africa. Groenvlei Farm is home to rambling magenta bougainvillea, delicate scented roses and wild lavender growing alongside carefully cultivated vineyards. Dating back to the 18th century, the traditional gabled Cape Dutch buildings of the wine estate belie a contrasting modernity within. The stately old homestead is partnered by a “boutique” winery, contemporary wine tasting room and luxurious outdoor lounge which have established Peter Falke Wines as the most elegant and serene sundowner retreat in the winelands.
