Stark Conde Stellenbosch Cab Sauv 2021 (Diners)
Cabernet Sauvignon
Description
Stark-Condé is a boutique Stellenbosch estate nestled in the Jonkershoek Valley, a cool, elevated sub-region known for Cabernet Sauvignon that balances ripe fruit with refined structure. The vineyards sit on decomposed granite and iron-rich soils that promote even ripening, while ocean breezes and moderate heat ensure vibrant acidity even in warmer years. The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is part of the estate’s signature range, made from organically farmed grapes using traditional practices - open fermentations, careful extraction and extended oak maturation - to create a wine that’s expressive yet grounded in site. Vineyard blocks blended for this wine contribute layers of complexity without overshadowing varietal clarity.
Colour:
Deep ruby-garnet, nearly opaque at the centre, with youthful saturation visible at the rim.
Nose:
Perfumed and layered, with lifted aromas of blackberry, cassis and dark cherry, cedary oak, tea leaf and subtle violet florals. Secondary notes of bay leaf, tobacco and graphite add complexity without heaviness.
Palate:
Medium- to full-bodied with a juicy core of dark fruit, blackcurrant and blueberry balanced by firm but supple tannins. Fine-grained structure and lively acidity keep the wine focused, while hints of mocha and crushed herbs echo the aromatic profile.
Finish:
Long, savoury and persistent, with mineral tension and lingering dark fruit leading to a classic Cabernet finish.

- Food Pairing : Stark-Condé Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is built for hearty, flavourful dishes that match its structure and depth. Serve it alongside slow-braised beef short ribs or a rich oxtail potjie - the wine’s acidity and fine tannins cut through the savoury richness. It also complements grilled T-bone steak with rosemary and garlic, where the herbal notes in the wine echo the seasoning, or pair with mushroom and truffle risotto for an elegant vegetarian option, letting the earthiness and texture play off the wine’s complexity.
