The Estate
The Kleine Zalze Cabernet Sauvignon much like the other wines from the family reserve range are marked by a classical structure and complexity matched by a vibrant flavour intensity.
Discernibly South African in style, they are refreshing, beautifully balanced and well-suited to food. Our wines are made according to traditional methods with minimal cellar intervention, but supported by modern equipment.
From oaked to opulent styles to more fruit-driven reds, there is a Kleine Zalze Cabernet Sauvignon for every palate.
The Kleine Zalze Family Reserve is the flagship range made from grapes, selected from exceptional quality vineyard blocks.
The Kleine Zalze Cabernet Sauvignon was selected to feature in Decanter Magazine’s, Top 12 list of Stellenbosch Cabernets. A 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that was matured in French oak barrels for 24 months.
The Family Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon has a long history of winning illustrious awards, which include a Platter 5 star, International Wine and Spirits Competition Grand Gold, Double Gold Veritas and Tri-Nations Cabernet Challenge Trophy to name but a few.
Tasting Notes
On the nose: the wine has a complex nose of red and black fruit, violets, hint of mint, liquorice and vanilla
On the palate: there is plenty of sweet fruit on the palate, which is offset by fresh acidity, while the finish is gently savoury.
