LOUIS57 · PRIVATE CELLAR · CABERNET SAUVIGNON

The Louis57 Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic Stellenbosch Cabernet from Louis Oosthuizen’s hand-picked wine collection, with every Louis57 wine personally tasted and selected by Louis himself. The 2013 vintage was awarded Gold at the Vitis Vinifera Awards, recognition that reflects the quality and character of this full-bodied South African red. Rich, structured and built for the long haul, it combines ripe dark fruit with fine-grained tannins, subtle spice and a rounded, persistent finish — a serious Cabernet with the sporting pedigree of one of South Africa’s greatest golfers.

A characterful Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon with the structure, balance and ageing potential to reward patience.
