Metzer Cabernet Sauvignon 2020The guiding principle for Wade Metzers winemaking philosophy is that winemaking must always respect the fruit. To achieve this he uses non interventionist principles; no mechanical interventions, indigenous yeasts and no fining or filtration. Many of his wines are Old Vine Certified. 90% Cabernet Sauvignon with 10% Shiraz. Grapes sourced from the Steynsrust area of the Helderberg; planted on heavily weather granitic soils overlooking False Bay. 100%
