African Coco

Robertson Cabernet Sauvignon

The Van Loveren African Coco is a luscious red wine crafted from the renowned Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in the picturesque region of Robertson. This wine embodies a rich and full body that envelops the palate with its velvety texture. The flavor profile showcases a harmonious balance of fruit intensity, where the deep red color hints at the ripe berries and dark cherries that dance on the taste buds. The wine is accented by a delightful touch of acidity that adds a refreshing brightness to each sip. The smooth tannins provide a subtle structure that elegantly supports the fruit-forward nature of this exquisite Cabernet Sauvignon. With a dry finish that leaves a lingering impression, the Van Loveren African Coco is a true gem from the Robertson wine region.

Region:


Robertson

Like many South African wine regions, Robertson is in a beautiful location that matches its dramatic scenery with equally impressive wines. Known as the "valley of wine and roses," Robertson lies 100 miles east of Cape Town in the Breede River Valley region. Fed by the Breede and sheltered by the Langeberg Mountains to the north, Robertson Valley is prized for its limestone and gravel soils and temperate Mediterranean climate. From complex Shiraz, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon to dynamic Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc—and even world-class sparkling wines—Robertson has it all.
