This South African Cabernet features red fruits, plum, and hints of coffee and cocoa. Layers of ripe, red berry flavors on the palate, with just enough tannin to give a sense of grip. It's a versatile fuller-bodied red, especially for an approachably-priced Cabernet; it can accompany a wide range of meat dishes: think lamb burgers or BBQ ribs. 'Sixpence' was the nickname given to shepherd Daniel Smiles who looked after the flocks of sheep that roamed the Opstal farm in the 1950s and '60s, when current owner Stanley Louw was a boy. The Merlot and Cabernet vineyards were planted on what had been grazing land, and they've been referred to as Sixpence's Vineyards ever since.
