Swartland Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

Swartland Winery's Winemakers Collection showcases the Swartland's most distinctive varieties, drawing on vineyards that benefit from constant cool Atlantic breezes and the region's ancient, diverse soils. This Cabernet Sauvignon is a medium-bodied, complex expression of the variety — earthy and aromatic, with the freshness that the Swartland's cool nights preserve so naturally.
