Winemaker's Notes:

 Cabernet Sauvignon is regarded as one of the most popular varietals worldwide. Golden Kaan has created a classic red wine which shows good varietal characteristics with upfront cherry fruit which is in perfect balance with oaky vanilla flavors, due to careful maturation in oak. Excellent follow-through on the palate where the soft/ripe tannins linger on the senses. The wine has good acid structure that balances well with the tannic structure and contributes to its elegant finish.

Ideal with ostrich, grilled rosemary-flavored lamb, oxtail and steak.

My Notes:

About Golden Kaan:

 South Africa’s vineyards are mostly situated in the Western Cape near the coast. The traditional viticultural areas of the Cape Peninsula and surrounding regions have a mainly Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and good winter rainfall, ensuring the minimum amount of irrigation is needed.

These weather and terroir conditions ensure sunspoiled grapes with worldwide acknowledgement, which are then used to produce full-bodied and unique wines like the ones of Golden Kaan. South Africa is a country that stimulates fantasies like no other: Glistening sunshine, fertile earth, a touch of adventure and a wildlife of unequalled splendor. Golden Kaan embodies all of these.
