Stellenbosch Reserve Vanderstel 2021 - Red wine

The Stellenbosch Reserve Vanderstel impresses the connoisseur's senses with its rich aromas of dark fruits, especially the scent of blackcurrants and dark cherries, accompanied by sweet baking spices and walnuts. Concentrated notes of dark fruit are also noticeable on the palate and are accompanied by spicy nuances such as cinnamon, cedar and clove. The complex interplay of aromas is supported by a good tannin structure, which gives the red wine its great texture. The cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon (68%), Merlot (19%), Malbec (5%), Petit Verdot (4%) and Cabernet Franc (4%) is therefore a pleasure on its own, but you can also serve the wine, which has matured for twelve months in French oak, with aromatic and hearty dishes. Game and dark meat are also a good choice with Stellenbosch Reserve Vanderstel. Incidentally, the name of this red wine cuvée with its strong character is reminiscent of Simon van der Stel, who founded the town of Stellenbosch and played an important role in the South African wine industry as Governor of the Cape.
