Product information "Great Heart Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon 2020"
The Great Heart Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon flows into the glass in deep garnet red, caressing the nose with attractive aromas of elderberry and red currant leaf. The broad mid-palate is enveloped by immensely silky tannins and complexly layered nuances of plum, graphite and pomegranate that fade into a smoothly fading and long finish, rounded out beautifully by notes of fine mulberry coulis and a hint of cocoa.
