About this Item

2020 CWG Paul Sauer
12 (2 x 6) 750ml

“The perception of our wine is not based on a story or on an idea; it is based on what is in the bottle.” - Abrie Beeslaar

69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Cabernet Franc, 14% Merlot

• One of the first Bordeaux-style blends made in South Africa.
• 30-year-old vineyards were used to make this wine.
• Low-yielding vineyard blocks at 2-5 T / Ha.
• Traditional manual punch-downs were carried out during fermentation in open top fermenters (kuipe).
• Matured in 100% new French oak barrels for 24 months.
• The first South African wine to score 100 points from Tim Atkin.

Tasting Notes: A typical expression of cassis and liquorice on the nose. The palate shows tension that flows into a fresh, savoury aftertaste.

Ready for drinking from 2025.
