The majestic mountains of Stellenbosch, the exceptional vista, the superlative terroir and the commitment of the owner, winemaker, viticulturist and employees are all captured in this effort to produce a classic wine.
The Bon Terroir 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon was made from the grapes of a single vineyard of less than a hectare. It has the characteristic layering of Cassis, Blackberry fruits and a lingering hint of cigar box that are so typical of this variety. The ageing of this wine over the next five to ten years will be richly rewarded....
2007 Cabernet SauvignonAppropriately named, Bon Terroir takes its name from the majestic views of the Stellenbosch Valley and the mountain ranges beyond that dominates the landscape. False Bay is the source of cooling summer breezes that ensure a long and slow ripening season. This Cabernet Sauvignon, a collaboration between owner, Wim van Heerden and winemaker, Bruwer Raats, has been passionately handcrafted to represent a true expression of the combined magnificence of the cultivar and its terroir. |
