On colour
The Villion Wines Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 displays a deep garnet hue with a vibrant core, showing youthful intensity and just a hint of bricking at the rim, characteristic of well-handled Cabernet from cooler South African sites like Elgin and Bot River.
On the nose
Aromas unfold with layered elegance, revealing hints of white chocolate and dusty red cherries, alongside freshly picked raspberries, pencil shavings, and a touch of graphite, underscored by well-judged oak spice that adds savory cedar and subtle vanilla nuances.
On the palate
Medium-bodied with fine balance, it offers juicy dark fruit and ripe berry flavors, tempered by firm tannins, bright acidity, and integrated oak that brings spice and a savory edge, leading to a persistent finish of graphite minerality.
On the whole
Perfectly balanced, multi-layered Cabernet with elegance and finesse.
Only 11 barrels produced.
