About this product

Bold. Classic. A polished Cape expression of one of the world’s great grapes.
Franschhoek Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon delivers the timeless character Cabernet lovers expect — black fruit, gentle oak, and smooth, confident tannins — all wrapped in the modern, approachable style that has made South African reds so popular. Grown in warm, sunlit vineyards softened by coastal breezes, the fruit achieves full ripeness while retaining balance, resulting in a Cabernet that is both flavourful and wonderfully drinkable.

The wine opens with rich aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and cassis, followed by subtle notes of cedar, spice, and dark chocolate. On the palate, it stays firm yet smooth, offering structure without harshness and depth without heaviness. It’s the kind of Cabernet that feels generous and satisfying, making it a brilliant everyday choice for fans of classic reds.

For wine lovers in Ireland, this style fits beautifully with cooler evenings, hearty dishes, and relaxed dinners at home. It’s reliable, polished, and consistently great value — everything people want from a modern Cabernet Sauvignon.

Why we love it:
A smooth, fruit-forward Cabernet with ripe blackcurrant, soft tannins, and just the right touch of oak. Classic in character but approachable enough for any night of the week — a perfect companion to hearty meals and cosy evenings in Ireland.
