Cabernet Sauvignon is known as the “King of Grape Varieties” because it is capable of making such consistently good wine. This one is full-bodied with concentrated blackberry and cassis flavours and a hint of cedar, which comes as a result of the wine being aged in wood.

Intense
For people who enjoy big, bold wines that really pack a punch. For many who enjoy similar wines it’s a case of the bigger the better!
David Trafford is one of South Africa’s most individual winemakers. David is completely self-taught, save for a few months working a vintage in St Emilion. By trade he is an architect – hence the blueprint designs on his labels – but in 1983 he decided to plant a small vineyard for fun. In 1991 David turned his part-time hobby into a full-time career. Twenty years on, he is one of South Africa’s most decorated winemakers.
The wines have rich fruit and a juicy ripeness but they are crisply pressed and structured too. His ability to blend New World innovation and Old World methodology can perhaps be best seen in his sweet Straw Wine, which has quickly become one of the Cape's most fiercely sought after wines.
