M.A.N Ou Kalant Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

M.A.N Ou Kalant Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is a bold, characterful red wine that pays tribute to tradition, heritage and honest winemaking. Crafted by M.A.N Family Wines, this wine takes its name from the Afrikaans phrase “Ou Kalant”, meaning “old character” — a nod to the classic, no-nonsense style of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Sourced from carefully selected vineyards in the Coastal Region, the wine is matured in French oak barrels, adding structure and complexity without overpowering the fruit. The 2022 vintage delivers ripe concentration while maintaining balance and freshness.

On the nose, expect aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherry and cedar, followed by hints of tobacco leaf and spice. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with firm yet polished tannins, layers of dark fruit, oak spice and savoury notes, and a long, dry finish.

A versatile, food-friendly Cabernet Sauvignon that pairs beautifully with grilled meats, lamb, and rich stews, or enjoyed on its own for relaxed, confident drinking.
