Post House ‘Bulls Eye’ Cabernet Sauvignon Stellenbosch 2022

Winemaking

Post House represents a thoughtful approach to South African winemaking, balancing the region's generous fruit with careful oak handling and structural precision. The team focuses on allowing Stellenbosch's natural strengths—ripe, concentrated berries and mineral backbone—to shine without overextraction or excessive wood influence.

Tasting Notes

The 'Bulls Eye' opens with inviting aromas of blackcurrant and ripe plum, underscored by a whisper of oak spice that adds complexity without dominating. On the palate, this full-bodied Cabernet shows excellent structure, with firm tannins that frame flavors of dark berries and a suggestion of graphite minerality. The wine finishes clean and dry with impressive length, displaying the balance and refinement that makes Stellenbosch Cabernet so appealing.

Producer

Post House is a respected producer working within Stellenbosch's established winemaking community, known for producing well-crafted Cabernet Sauvignon that reflects both the terroir and contemporary cellar discipline. The estate's commitment to quality across their range has established them as a reliable source for classic South African reds.

Terroir

Stellenbosch's prime location at the heart of South Africa's Cape Winelands provides the ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon—warm days tempered by cooling Atlantic breezes and mountainous terrain that moderates temperature extremes. The region's gravelly soils and well-draining slopes produce concentrated fruit with natural acidity and tannin structure, hallmarks of the appellation's most serious expressions.

Food Pairings

Serve this wine with a grilled ribeye steak finished with herb butter and sea salt, or try it alongside a rustic beef and mushroom stew. It also pairs beautifully with roasted lamb shoulder and root vegetables, where the wine's firm tannins and dark fruit character complement the savory richness perfectly.
