METHODE ANCIENNE CABERNET SAUVIGNON IN SOUTH AFRICA

This wine is a true labour of love, upheld over generations. Planted in 1979 on a rocky triangle of land previously overlooked, the Methode Ancient Cabernet vineyard is gnarled and wizened and produces but a tiny crop each year. About 18 barrels of premium cabernet sauvignon is made each year, fermented and aged in 100% new French oak for a total of two years and the rest of the time in bottle. It is the finest expression of Cabernet Sauvignon one can find and with its absolute hands off approach.
