“Opening to a nose of dusty, dark red, and black-fruited essences, the 2018 Lievland Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon offers notions of dusty blackberry, hints of cedar and cigar spice, and elements of pencil shavings, cherry skin, and crème de cassis. Medium to full-bodied, the weight of the wine is delightful and has me daydreaming of grilled chops. Balanced yet firmly structured, the wine glides to a long, winding finish. Give it a try.”
About The Winery
Lievland, directly translated, means 'love land' and there are few who come to this farm that aren't charmed by its bucolic beauty. Twenty years ago, Lievland was considered one of South Africa's top estates. José Conde and Tyrrel Myburgh, partners in MAN Family Wines, purchased the farm in late 2017 with the goal of resurrecting it to its former glory. Today the winery produces a range of three wines: Pinotage, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chenin Blanc.
'The first time we visited the farm, we were struck by two horses that had adopted a baby springbok. This touching scene inspired our label: Cupid, the god of love, riding a springbok, South Africa's national animal.'
