George Spies is an iconic figure in South Africa, renowned for his exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. David Finlayson, a close friend of Spies' daughter, has created GS Cabernet Sauvignon as a tribute to this legacy. The wine is made with the clone CS163-A, known for delivering an authentic Cabernet Sauvignon experience.

David Finlayson GS Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is an intense and structured red wine from Stellenbosch, South Africa. Inspired by the legendary GS Cabernet from 1966, this wine showcases a classic, terroir-driven expression of Cabernet Sauvignon.

The 2021 vintage is characterized by its intensity and complexity. The aroma offers dark berries such as blackcurrant and blackberry, complemented by notes of cedar, pencil lead, tobacco and dark chocolate. The taste is deep and concentrated with firm but well-integrated tannins, a fresh acidity and a long, persistent aftertaste with hints of spices and graphite.

This wine has excellent aging potential and will develop beautifully over the next 10-15 years. It is a perfect match for red meat, game and mature cheeses. An impressive Cabernet Sauvignon with finesse, structure and great depth.

The wine is aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels from Nevers and Allier. It has a complex aroma with blackcurrant, blueberry, mint and mocha. The taste is concentrated with rich fruit and soft tannins. The aftertaste offers fruit sweetness and spices. It is recommended to decant the wine.
