Discover Cabernet Sauvignon Wines

Cabernet Sauvignon is a red wine grape variety from the vitis vinifera grape plant species. It is the world's most commonly planted red wine grape variety, and its wines have lately been rated as the most sought-after in the world. When vinified properly, it may produce a full-bodied, complex, fruit-forward, and dry wine. The Cabernet Sauvignon grape owes most of its fame to its origins in the Bordeaux area of France. Traditionally, these wines have a strong crimson and black fruit flavor with a pronounced tannic component.

Because of its flavor profile and simplicity of production, Cabernet Sauvignon is a popular grape type among wine consumers and vintners both. The vines are very resilient, adapting to a wide range of temperatures and terroirs. They grow grapes with thick skins that are resistant to harsh conditions such as frost and hail.

Cabernet Sauvignon has large yields, which is a major plus for winemakers since it is one of the most popular red wines in the world.

About the Producer: Stark-Conde Wines

Stark-Condé is a South African wine producer founded in 1998 by Cuban-American Jose Stark. Today, the winery produces around 6,000 cases of wine a year and is known for producing some of South Africa's finest red wines. After working as a graphic designer, Stark moved to South Africa in 1997 with his wife Marie and settled in it. family property in the Yonkerschuk Valley in Stellenbosch. Stark experimented with several barrels of Cabernet Sauvignon in what was then known as Oude Nektar. It was met with great critical acclaim and the company was founded shortly thereafter. Oude Nektar is still produced by the company. Stark Condé occupies about 40 hectares (100 acres) in the Yonkershuk Valley, which is considered the main region for growing red varieties. The vines are planted on steep slopes at an altitude of 150 to 600 meters (500-2000 feet) above sea level, which provides excellent drainage that helps to reduce the vigor of the vines. This redirects energy to ripening the berries to produce concentrated specimens of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Three Pines is the flagship of Stark-Condé, named after the three pine trees at the top of the hill overlooking the winery. There are also wines noted by Stellenbosch; Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and, more recently, the white field blends of Roussanne, Chenin Blanc, Viognier and Verdello.
