MAN Vintners Cabernet Sauvignon

Full-bodied, approachable, with a core of dark fruit — the MAN Vintners Cabernet Sauvignon from South Africa delivers exactly what you would expect from this grape variety, without any detours.

MAN Vintners is a joint venture of three families from the Bottelary Hills area in Stellenbosch. The name stands for the first names of the founding women — Marie, Anette, Nicky — and the philosophy behind it is as clear as the approach: handcrafted wines from good vineyards, fairly priced, without marketing gimmicks.

In the glass, the Cabernet Sauvignon displays a deep ruby ​​red. The nose offers aromas of cassis and black plum, along with a hint of toasty notes suggesting aging in oak barrels. On the palate, it is full-bodied and juicy, with ripe and soft tannins—no harshness, no dryness. The finish is long, with a subtle hint of cedar and dark chocolate.

Serving temperature: 16–18 °C. Pairs well with grilled beef, lamb chops with rosemary, or a spicy chili con carne. Also a simple and enjoyable drink on its own for an evening on the patio.
