Nose: The bouquet is characterised by intense dark berries and blackcurrant aromas, underpinned by gentle smoky oak and subtle cedar / wood notes.

Product details

This Cabernet Sauvignon is produced by Douglas Green Wines in the Western Cape, South Africa — a brand established in 1942. It is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grown in the Western Cape region, with an alcohol content of around 13.5%.

For Collectors: While this wine isn’t aimed at ultra‑long‑term investment, it offers excellent value and deserves a place in a well‑rounded cellar. With good storage, you might enjoy optimal drinking within 3‑5 years from vintage, while better vintages may reward up to 6‑7 years for modest development of tertiary character.
