BALANCE

is key.
THE NEW GENERATION
OF WINES
Equitania Boutique Wine Farm is nestled against the lower slopes of the Helderberg (clear mountain), with views of False Bay and Table Mountain. This exquisite section of Earth is perfect for the production of top-quality wine. Equitania boasts two of the classic red varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.

The Equitania team includes Consulting Winemaker Ronell Wiid and Consulting Viticulturist Francois Hanekom. Both are focused on producing exceptional boutique-style red wines. The vineyard is maintained by a team of specialists, who immediately set out to improve viticulture practices to embody the saying:

 

Great wine is made in the vineyard, not in the cellar.

2018

current release

Cabernet Sauvignon / Cabernet Franc

The 3rd release of our single vineyard wine is from the 2018 vintage. The wine was matured in 225l French oak barrels for 16 months, of which 50% were new.

It achieved 89/100 in the 2022 Platter ratings with Cape Wine Master, Winnie Bowman, making the following comment: “This boutique vineyard is big on flavour in 2018, Cab Franc taking the lead at 55% & showing its cool leafiness along with blackcurrant, cedar & fragrant fynbos. Pure & intense flavours in an elegant, poised structure, with lovely vivacity”. Drink now or will mature well for at least 8 years.
