The 2020 vintage shows lovely black current, cherry, mulberry and pepper spice aromas on the nose with a nuttiness from the barrel maturation. The structure of this wine is medium bodied, with the Carignan and Cinsault providing an elegantly fresh and zippy palate, finishing dry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pairs well with<\/strong><br \/>\nFillet of beef l Braaivleis l Lamb shank l Italian cuisine<\/p>\n<p><strong>OAK PHILOSOPHY<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Cabernet Sauvignon component of this blend was in new oak, but the other varieties were in 3 rd, 4 th and even older fill barrels \u2013 all 300L French oak and for a period of 18 months. After bottling the wine spends another 8 months in the bottle before being released onto the market. In the Carl Everson Range we aim for complexity, balance and elegance. So, we don\u2019t want to overpower the wine drinker with too much oak extraction and rather let the fruit be captain of the ship through plenty drinkability.<\/p>\n<p>Alcohol % (V\/V) 13.95<br \/>\nResidual Sugar (g\/l) 2.8<br \/>\nTotal Acidity (g\/l) 5.6<br \/>\npH 3.56<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carl Everson was the visionary 4th generation farmer at Opstal Estate.
