Aslina Wines, founded by South Africas first black female winemaker Ntsiki Biyela, is known for crafting wines that showcase elegance and a strong sense of place. This Sauvignon Blanc reflects her commitment to sustainable practices and high-quality winemaking.
- WINEMAKER: Ntsiki Biyela
- FARMING: Sustainable farming practices, emphasizing environmental responsibility and long-term soil health.
- VARIETY: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
- TERROIR: Sourced from the renowned Stellenbosch region, known for its ideal growing conditions for Bordeaux varieties. The vineyards are situated on rolling hills with decomposed granite and clay soils, providing excellent drainage and promoting the development of concentrated fruit with balance and finesse.
- VINIFICATION: The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine undergoes a maceration period to extract deep color and tannins, followed by malolactic fermentation to smoothen acidity.
- AGING: Aged for 12 months in a combination of French oak barrels and stainless steel tanks, allowing the wine to develop complexity and integrate oak flavors while retaining its fresh fruit character.
- TASTING NOTES: This Cabernet Sauvignon offers rich aromas of blackcurrant, ripe plum, and hints of tobacco with subtle herbal notes. The palate is structured, with firm tannins and a vibrant acidity that supports flavors of dark berries, cassis, and a touch of graphite. The finish is long and elegant, with lingering notes of spice and oak.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Pairs beautifully with grilled meats, such as steak or lamb, roasted vegetables, or hard cheeses like aged cheddar and gouda.
