Labyrinth Cabernet Sauvignon - Simonsig

IN SHORT

📍 Stellenbosch · 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
From three selected vineyards on the estate
18 months in French oak

Why we like it

Labyrinth is born from the union of three different vineyards on the Simonsig estate, each contributing a unique characteristic to the wine. The result is an elegant and complex Cabernet Sauvignon, combining fruit intensity, freshness, and refined tannins in a typically Stellenbosch style.

Wine profile

The nose opens with aromas of blackberry, violet, graphite, and pencil, accompanied by delicate herbaceous undertones. The palate is full and harmonious, with notes of blackberry compote, aromatic herbs, and fine spices. The silky and perfectly integrated tannins support a long, fresh, and elegant finish.

The Simonsig signature

Labyrinth is crafted from the blend of the best grapes from three Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards on the estate, grown on different granite and schist soils. Careful winemaking and long aging in French oak allow every nuance of the terroir to be enhanced, giving rise to a wine of great balance and depth.

The name Labyrinth evokes the complexity of the vineyard and the wine: three parcels, three terroirs, and a single Cabernet Sauvignon capable of expressing all the elegance of Stellenbosch.

Food pairing
