Stark-Condé Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Review
In the Jonkershoek Valley, Stark-Condé owns 600 acres; 85 of which are under vine. And although they offer a range of wines, it’s the Cabernet Sauvignon that brought Jose Conde and his wife Midori Maruyama back to South Arica after the end of Apartheid. This was in the 1980s and the two of them wanted their family to be a part of positive change. Their passion is in this bottle of Cab. It is lean and meaty with wafting notes of blackberries and pepper with a mineral edge and a hint of vanilla. The palate is soft and balanced with the natural acidity holding up the tight core of fruit. A wonderfully balanced wine.
