About This Wine


Posted Accord

Cabernet Sauvignon

Although this Cabernet comes from the New World vineyards of South Africa, its characteristics lean more toward the Old World styling of Bordeaux's Left Bank. Our 2020 Posted Accord Cabernet Sauvignon is not your typical Cab; its flavors fall into the realm of savory and spice without losing its enticing sweetness. Rather than focusing on intense ripe fruit, this Cab offers complexity through secondary characteristics brought forth by skillful winemaking. Fermentation takes place in open concrete tanks to preserve varietal character. During fermentation, the winemakers regulate the temperature and do frequent punch downs of the hard cap to increase flavor integration and texture. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is transferred to 300-liter French oak barrels, where it is left to mature for a minimum of 12 months. Posted Accord believes in a harmonious union that blends excellence and imagination, and we believe this Cabernet is just that. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine Region


South Africa

With its mountainous, maritime-influenced winegrowing regions, South Africa produces top-quality Cabernet Sauvignon and Chenin Blanc and premium Syrah, Pinotage, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The Dutch brought vines here back in the 1600s to satiate their thirsty sailors en route to India, but they probably never imagined just how important to the wine world South Africa would one day become. Indeed, it took centuries for South Africa to discover its full potential. Most of the country's winegrowing areas thrive in the southwest, known as the Western Cape. Its most famous regions are an easy drive from Cape Town and include Stellenbosch, Swartland, Breedekloof and Franschhoek.
