Asara Grande Legacy Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Cabernet Sauvignon
Description
Asara Wine Estate, set on the gentle slopes of Stellenbosch’s celebrated vineyards near False Bay, blends deep wine-growing heritage with a disciplined, site-driven approach to premium reds. Its Grande Legacy Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 comes from the estate’s prized southwest-facing blocks where cool breezes and decomposed granite soils promote relatively slow ripening, concentrating flavour and structural intensity. Hand-sorted fruit goes through careful fermentation and extended maturation - up to 24 months in fine French oak - to foster depth and refined complexity. Asara’s philosophy leans toward minimal intervention and respect for terroir, producing Cabernet that is both expressive of Stellenbosch’s distinctive climate and balanced in its oak integration.
Colour: Deep ruby with purple-tinged edges, showing youthful vibrancy and concentration.
Nose: Rich aromas of blackcurrant and dark cherry lead, supported by hints of graphite, dried herbs and fine oak spice, suggesting both fruit ripeness and measured complexity.
Palate: Full-bodied and structured yet silky, the palate delivers layers of ripe dark fruit, earthy undertones and poised tannins. Cassis and plum meld with subtle oak-derived cedar and spice, building steadily toward a firm backbone without heaviness.
Finish: Long and graceful, the finish showcases lingering dark fruit and polished tannins, with balance and focus that reflect careful maturation and quality vineyard expression.

- Food Pairing : Asara Grande Legacy Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 pairs beautifully with dishes that match its structure and depth. Think grilled beef fillet with rosemary jus or a slow-roasted lamb shoulder - the wine’s firm tannins and dark-fruit profile complement rich proteins and herby savoury notes. For a more textured match, a classic pepper-crusted venison or smoked brisket echoes the wine’s earthy spice and oak character. Even aged cheeses like mature cheddar or gouda stand up well to the concentrated fruit and balanced oak structure, offering a satisfying contrast that highlights both flavours and weight on the palate.
- Drink before: Enjoy now through to 2034. Extended oak maturation and structured tannins support medium-term cellaring.
