About this Item

2020 Abel
12 (2 x 6) 750ml

“What I enjoy most about winemaking is you get dealt the cards, and you don’t really know what you are going to get – it’s all up to nature. So you can either have a great year or a not-so-great year, but it’s what you make of it.” - Warren Ellis

45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, 15% Petit Verdot, 10% Merlot, 5% Malbec

Wine of Origin: Jonkershoek Valley
Winemaker: Warren Ellis

This wine is a Left Bank Bordeaux-style blend, comprising Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot, and Malbec. Notably, all the blending components are sourced from the same estate as our iconic Jonkershoek Cabernet Sauvignon.

Tasting Notes: Aromas of cassis, dark cherries rolling into liquorice. The palate is dense and concentrated with a well-defined core of chalky tannins defining the structure of the wine.

Ready for drinking from 2025 to 2035.
