Kleine Zalze Vineyard Selection Cabernet Sauvignon is a classically structured wine from Stellenbosch that showcases its provenance through intense dark fruit, elegant tannins, and beautifully integrated oak. Sourced from estate vineyards and selected Stellenbosch parcels grown on iron-rich ferricrete soils ("koffie klip"), this wine delivers exceptional concentration and balance with cellaring potential of at least 10 years.
Why You'll Love It
This is Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon with real character—classically structured, elegantly balanced, and beautifully crafted with 20 months in French oak. The 2022 vintage benefited from prolonged ripening that gave the grapes intense concentration of flavours, promising another classic Stellenbosch vintage. The iron-rich ferricrete soils are exceptionally well-suited for quality Cabernet Sauvignon production, while careful vinification maintains density without compromising elegance, offering outstanding quality at exceptional value.
Vineyard & Production
Sourced from estate vineyards and selected Stellenbosch parcels grown on ferricrete soils ("koffie klip")—clay- and iron-rich soils exceptionally well-suited for quality Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2022 vintage featured prolonged ripening with intense flavour concentration. Blocks were harvested at optimum ripeness and vinified separately in stainless-steel tanks and traditional open-top fermenters using "punch down" and "pump over" techniques. After primary fermentation, the wine was gently pressed and transferred to French oak barrels (35% new, 20% second fill, 45% third and fourth fill) for 20 months before final blending.
Tasting Notes
Upfront herbal notes open up to reveal intense dark fruit. Cassis and black cherries on the palate supported by subtle herbaceous notes. Elegantly structured with fine tannins and beautifully integrated oak that lingers almost unendingly on the back palate.
Perfect Pairings
A fantastic companion to most meat dishes, grilled steak, roasted
Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
