A Taste of Stellenbosch: David Finlayson Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Pictured is the David Finlayson Cabernet Sauvignon 2022, a premium Stellenbosch red wine produced by renowned South African winemaker David Finlayson of Edgebaston Vineyards. Crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes sourced from several exceptional Stellenbosch vineyard sites, the wine is known for its classic Cabernet character, displaying rich flavours of cassis, blackcurrant, dark berries, mint, mocha, and subtle vanilla oak. The palate is full-bodied with firm, well-structured tannins and a long finish, giving it excellent ageing potential. The wine spent approximately 14 months maturing in French oak barrels, adding complexity and refinement. The 2022 vintage has received notable recognition, including Double Gold awards and strong ratings from wine critics, reinforcing David Finlayson's reputation as one of South Africa's leading Cabernet Sauvignon producers. It pairs exceptionally well with grilled steak, roast lamb, game dishes, and mature cheeses.
