StellenzichtCase of Unlabelled Golden Triangle Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 (R58.16 per Bottle, 6 Bottles)

About 

Award-winning Stellenzicht reserves its Golden Triangle label for those wines which most eloquently demonstrate the unique terroir of this special part of the Helderberg, home to some of South Africa’s most exceptional wines.

In winemaker Guy Webber’s view, what all the wines from this area have in common is balance. That is why the name chosen for this range of wines refers to a triangle in mathematics which is in perfect balance in that its three angles are in a 2:2:1 proportion. The observant will recognise this symbol, known in mathematics as an isosceles triangle, as the one depicted on the labels of this range. This obsession with balance, the Golden Ratio, as found in nature and in the world around us, has for centuries occupied mathematicians, philosophers and artists such as Leonardo da Vinci. The quest for perfect balance is also what motivated the creation of the four wines in the range.

Winemaker’s comments

Colour: Bright ruby of medium intensity, with hints of youthful purple along the rim.

Nose: Sweet aromas of cassis and black berries interspersed with faint nuances of white asparagus and slightly smokey oak.

Palate: Full-bodied and incredibly well balanced with total harmony between the sweet fruit flavours and the toasty oak tannins. Friendly but with some expected grip which will relax with time - a gentle giant!
