Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon

This full-bodied red wine is a testament to the region's winemaking prowess, showcasing the exceptional quality of the local terroir. The Bomb greets you with an inviting bouquet of ripe blackcurrant, dark cherry, and a hint of tobacco. On the palate, it reveals a harmonious balance of lush, ripe fruit and well-integrated tannins, creating a silky yet structured mouthfeel. The bright acidity provides a lively and refreshing backbone, making each sip a delightful experience. Its complex layers of flavor are further accentuated by subtle notes of dark chocolate and earthy undertones, leading to a long, satisfying finish. Balanced, robust, and sophisticated, Blankbottle The Bomb is a splendid example of Stellenbosch’s viticultural heritage, perfect for pairing with hearty meals or enjoying on its own to truly appreciate its elegant depth and character.

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.
