Merchant's description

Restless River is a boutique winery located in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley in South Africa. The winery is known for its meticulous approach to winemaking, focusing on quality over quantity. ‘Main Road and Dignity Cabernet Sauvignon’ is one of their flagship wines and the 2019 vintage is marked by its elegance and finesse. On the nose, expect to find notes of blackcurrant, cassis and a hint of mint, accompanied by subtle oak influences. The palate reveals flavours of dark fruit, such as blackberry and plum, along with well-integrated tannins and a balanced acidity. This wine has the potential to age gracefully and develop further complexity over time.
