2023 Granietkop Cabernet Sauvignon
Crafted by fourth-generation winemaker Stephan Basson at Babylon’s Peak, the 2023 Granietkop Cabernet Sauvignon is a showstopping example of Swartland’s bold yet balanced reds. Made with 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, this Western Cape red is matured in older barrels for 8 months to create a well-balanced and smooth-tasting experience. Each sip bursts with vibrant ripe mulberry and fresh raspberry, balanced by soft tannins and carried through a long, silky-smooth finish. Enjoy this fruit-forward red on its own or pair it with saucy BBQ, fire-gilled burgers, and margarita pizza.

"I am not a wine expert for sure. I cannot pick out flavor notes. But I know what I like and I’m really glad I tried it. It’s pretty mellow and easy to drink. Also glad I purchased 6 bottles so I can share it with family and friends."
"Not my "cup of tea. " I dislike the smokiness. It's drinkable, but I plan to use it as cooking wine. If smoke flavor appeals to you, give it a try--there is nothing else that would cause me not to recommend it."
"Quite good and drinkable cab. Smooth and enjoyable. Good color."
"not my favorite, a little bitter after taste."
"It’s ok"
