This Cabernet Sauvignon displays ripe blackcurrant and dried herb characters on the nose, which are backed up with spicy notes from the oak ageing. The palate is smooth and soft, with beautiful ripe tannins and a long finish. For years the Excelsior land was grazed by thoroughbred horses, the limestone rich soils thought to provide them with a source of calcium through the vegetation they consumed. This limestone content has proven to be beneficial for grape growing; the grapes grown here display greater spice notes in reds and fresher acidity in whites, than is typical in the Robertson region. Cabernet Sauvignon is the most planted variety on the estate making up 43% of all plantings.
