The Story: Cool-Climate Craft from Elgin

Part of the XCellar Limited Run, the Cabernet Franc 2019 – Elgin embodies precision and elegance from one of South Africa’s most celebrated cool-climate regions. The Elgin Valley, nestled in the Overberg, is known for its fresh mountain air and long ripening season — conditions that bring extraordinary balance and depth to this limited-release wine.

Vintage & Terroir

Crafted from grapes grown in select Elgin vineyards, this Cabernet Franc captures the valley’s unique terroir: cool temperatures, diverse soils, and a slow, even ripening period. These factors yield fruit with vibrant acidity, fine structure, and exceptional aromatic purity. The wine is 100% open-fermented to express its natural character before spending 12 months in second-fill French oak barrels to integrate flavour and soften the tannins.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Deep ruby with crimson reflections.
Nose: Captivating aromas of cassis and ripe plums, layered with subtle spice and earthy complexity.
Palate: Fruit-driven entry with flavours of plum and blackberry, unfolding into notes of black tea and savoury spice.
Finish: Supple tannins and lingering notes of juicy fruit and spiced earth complete this elegant wine.

Food Pairing

Perfect alongside roast duck, chargrilled lamb chops, wild mushroom risotto, or aged cheeses. Its refined texture and savoury edge make it a versatile partner at the table.
