Fantail

2004 Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon

Morgenhof Estate Fantail is a stunning example of a mature Cabernet Sauvignon hailing from the prestigious Stellenbosch region of South Africa. With its deep red hue, this wine exudes an inviting and robust character. The medium-bodied profile offers a delightful balance between richness and approachability, perfectly complemented by its well-integrated tannins that provide structure without overwhelming the palate. The acidity is bright and enhances the overall freshness of the wine, while the fruit intensity shines through with notes of blackcurrant and plum, layered with hints of spice and subtle oak. As a dry red, the Morgenhof Estate Fantail showcases the excellence of the 2004 vintage, presenting a wine that beautifully reflects the terroir of Stellenbosch and invites exploration with every sip.

Coastal Region
Coastal Region

Covering most of the Western Cape, the Coastal Region is the beating heart of South Africa's wine industry. Cooled by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and sheltered by mountains to the south and east, the region enjoys perfect conditions for grapevines to thrive. This is where you will find the world-famous sub-regions of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl. Wines labeled as Coastal Region are likely to be made from grapes sourced from a few different sub-zones, taking advantage of a wide range of mesoclimates and soil types. Look out for South Africa's flagship grapes: rounded Chenin Blanc, bold, figgy Pinotage and international grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Shiraz too.
