Vergenoegd Löw Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
R300,00
A deep ruby red wine with red and black fruit highlighted by dark chocolate on the nose and a pleasant chalkiness and slight salinity on the palate. Elegantly structured with well-integrated wood.
Extraordinary things happen where the ocean meets our vineyards. Descended from traditional vines and tempered by a cool maritime climate, our slow-ripened French heirloom grapes define the distinctive character of our wines. Uniquely located off the coast of False Bay, our vineyards enjoy bright summers, cool ocean breezes and fertile soil – perfect for the cultivation of exceptional grapes. Harvested, handcrafted, and bottled with passion, this extraordinary wine is an expression of our unique terroir and dedication to excellence.

About the Wine Estate
Vergenoegd Löw is one of the most intact of the early Cape farms and a very important heritage site, national monument, part of the European Heritage Project and a World Wildlife Fund (WWF) partner. This estate - now 325 years old - tells the stories of the owners, their families, slaves, Khoi labourers and farm life over three centuries. It is a fascinating tale of a host of individual vrijburger and other farmers who farmed with grapes, wines, different kinds of livestock, crops and feed grains.
