Seriously classy Cabernet. Keermont's latest vintage sets a global benchmark for quality to price - Just so good. Best prices until Monday (save up to £7 a bottle).

I love classically proportioned Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux blends. When well-made, like this, they are one of the finest glasses of wine you can get. I loved the great Cabernet Sauvignons of California of the 1970s and early 80s. They're stunning wines, still drinking well (!) and they remind me of this, where you discern beautiful nuances in the wine, but that are not masked by oak and power. Unfortunately, the trend has been to use the equivalent of steroids on Cabernet Sauvignons, from around the world, including Bordeaux, and in the past 30 years, classy, complex Cabernet like this has rather disappeared.

The nose is so good. I drank it last night with cold venison and it was such a good accompaniment, bringing out the redcurrant and blackcurrant in the wine, on the aroma and on the palate. As you delve in deeper there are savoury hints of spiced wood, leaves, the faintest, but welcome, touch of vanilla, and cedar, all enfolded into a smooth cocoon. It's got a really luxury aroma and palate. Coming from the really, really good 2021 vintage, it still has plenty of oomph and body, it's just it's not forced.

The terroir is exceptional, up in the mountains, up the Parasdyskloof road, between the Stellenbosch and Helderberg, with parcels of vines clinging to the steep slopes. Keermont has been rated a top produce for over ten years, but with careful work in the vineyards, and a better understanding of them and thoughtful cellar work, this is one of the best producers, and best value wines in Stellenbosch.

If you consider the quality of this wine in global terms, and what you can get from California, Chile, Argentina, Australia, the value is off the scale.

Pair with ribeye steak, rosemary or spiced lamb, venison, roast beef, roast pheasant, mature hard cheese, like some good cheddar.

This is truly, a delicious bottle. Deep, complex, and really quite profound in an approachable sort of way - that perfect balance between serious and cellar-worthy, and delicious to crack open the day it arrives.
