The red wine Koelenhof 1679 Cabernet Sauvignon, vintage 2018 from the winery Koelenhof Winery has been rated in 2022 by Anne Krebiehl with 90 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Cabernet Sauvignon from the region Stellenbosch in South Africa.
This wine is the decisive foray into premium bottlings by the 1941-founded Koelenhof. A lovely sense of melted candlewax and cold charcoal accompanies dark berry fruit – more blueberry than cassis. The palate is concentrated and shows even more of that smoky charcoal as well as warm, concentrated fruit. The tannins are dense and ripe, providing a sturdy frame for all the fruit. The finish is smooth and long.
