South Africa is widely credited for being among the first to shine a light on the potential of the straight Cab and brought this style into its own in the sunny climes of its Western Cape region of Stellenbosch. That planting decision was one of the best ever made as Stellenbosch is widely regarded as South Africa's gold standard for Cab making and now even turns out blends that can compete with Bordeaux. The distinctly sunny style is bolder and fruit forward with hints of spice and cedar with a firm tannic finish. You can find these sumptuous attributes in the Stark-Conde, Cabernet Sauvignon 2019, a full bodied expression, beaming with blackberry, tea leaf and barrel aged splendour.
