The General

2009 Western Cape 78% Cabernet Franc, 10% Merlot, 7% Malbec, 5% Petit Verdot

Boer & Brit The General from the 2009 vintage is an exquisite red blend hailing from the stunning Western Cape. This wine showcases a masterful composition of seventy-eight percent Cabernet Franc, complemented by ten percent Merlot, seven percent Malbec, and five percent Petit Verdot. The result is a beautifully structured wine with a medium body that gracefully balances with moderate acidity, enhancing its overall elegance. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering alluring notes of blackcurrant and dark cherries that harmonize perfectly with subtle hints of spice and earthy undertones. The tannins are notable yet refined, providing a firm backbone without overwhelming the palate. Impressively dry, this wine captivates with its complexity and depth, making it an exceptional choice for any occasion.

Western Cape

The majority of South Africa's best wines are produced in the southwest coastal zones around Cape Town, known collectively as the Western Cape. Sandwiched between the country's majestic mountains and its cooling ocean coasts (the Atlantic to the west of the Cape of Good Hope, the Indian Ocean to its east), the Western Cape offers a wealth of winemaking riches. Regions here include the Breede River Valley, Cape South Coast, Coastal Region, Klein Karoo and Olifants River.
