Cederberg Five Generation Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 R850/bottle x 750ml

A wine of stature, the Cabernet Sauvignon shows a beautiful combination of blackcurrant and plums with subtle hints of cedar wood and clove spice. A wine rich in flavour with a ripe tannin structure that has velvet finish on palate.
