Simonsig
Labyrinth Cabernet Sauvignon offers a maze of flavours

Designed to entrap the
essence of a great winter wine, Simonsig Labyrinth Cabernet Sauvignon owes its
name to the circular vineyard maze planted and nurtured by the wine team of
this family owned wine estate on the outskirts of Stellenbosch.
This cultivar carries
the moniker of King Cabernet and is associated with some of the
greatest red wines around the world. When it comes to South Africa, however,
this variety can be rather picky in where it will produce the best quality.
“Stellenbosch is blessed
with perfect soils and a mild maritime climate to make world class Cabernets,”
says Johan Malan, cellarmaster at Simonsig Wine Estate who lauds the longevity
of the Simonsig Labyrinth Cabernet Sauvignon as its standout trait.
“Some of my best
experiences with this wine have been with older vintages,” adds Johan.
Simonsig Labyrinth
Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 is a wine with delicious black cherry and blackcurrant
flavours, complemented with a distinct line of earthiness, cedar and tobacco.
Well rounded and balanced oak tannins capture the richness of this vintage that
can be enjoyed now, but has the ability to mature beautifully for eight to ten
years from vintage.
Johan
enjoys his favourite Cab most with rosemary infused roast leg of lamb and
thick, medium rare rump steak, devoured straight off the coals.
