Product Details
Cabernet Sauvignon - Red South African Wine
Lion's Gate Cabernet Sauvignon is made from grapes grown in the sun drenched vineyards of South Africa's Western Cape. Spice and fruity flavours, coupled with subtle toasty vanilla oak complement the blackcurrant aromas.
Lion's Gate wines come from the stunning Western Cape and represent the best of modern South African winemaking. Our pride in this range of wines is demonstrated by the use of the crest of a true South African icon - the lion.
