The earliest archaeological evidence of barbecue (Braai) is found in South Africa. On September 24th of each year the country celebrates Heritage Day, which in 2007 was renamed Braai4Heritage as a testament to its cultural importance in South Africa. The essence of braai is captured in this bold Cabernet, which displays aromas and flavors of dark berries, earth and smoke—perfect for socializing and the ideal complement to a wide range of BBQ-friendly flavors.

Critical Acclaim

W&S90 Wine & Spirits

The first impression this wine gives is green herbs and umami—think nori and perilla seed. Its jammy blueberry fruit is pulled back by that herbal impression. Well-balanced, this would make for a versatile pour at the table, a good match for anything off the grill, as the name braai would suggest.
