About This Wine


Wisdom Point

Cabernet Sauvignon

Our Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits dark, punchy fruit flavor with a refreshing herbal aromatic lift. Four-time Gold Medalist Wisdom Point never fails to embody the beauty of South African wine. This Cabernet is a delicious glimpse into the unique winegrowing conditions found in the Western Cape. On the coast, cooling currents from the Atlantic Ocean protect Cabernet’s natural acidity levels while warm inland temperatures ripen harsh tannins and encourage rich fruit flavors. This region’s diverse terrain and biological influences offer these thick-skinned red grapes the opportunity to reach varying ripeness levels. The resulting wine displays a delectably balanced flavor profile and structural characteristics. If you are a lover of fruit-forward reds or a stickler for a great Cab, this is an excellent opportunity to gain some tasty insight into a lesser-known wine region. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine Region


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.

Tasting Notes


  • A figure representing the Redcurrant tasting note. Redcurrant
  • A figure representing the Licorice tasting note. Licorice
  • A figure representing the Black Cherry tasting note. Black Cherry

A touch of herbaceousness adds complexity to aromas of redcurrant. The palate is a bit lighter than other more powerful Cabernets from the New World, with bright acidity and gentle tannins. Fruit remains the focus through ripe black cherry and red licorice flavors.
