Description

The Le General from Lanzerac, one of the oldest farms in Stellenbosch, is a rich, full-bodied Cabernet-based blend with a pronounced nose of vanilla and nutmeg spice leading to a flood of dark berries, cooked plums and blackcurrants on the palate. The long, complex finish shows dark chocolate and hints of smoke supported by sturdy yet smooth tannins.


The Le Général 2021 is a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 10% Malbec and 5% Petit verdot, was matured in a combination of new and 2nd fill 225 and 300 litre French oak barrels for a period of 20
months. The 4 varietals were individually fermented and matured before careful blending and bottling.

Bordeaux Blend

Chateau Saransot-Dupre is a favourably sited 17 hectares property that lies between Fourcas Dupré and Fourcas Hosten in Listrac.  Due to Listrac’s cooler temperatures, Merlot and Cabernet Franc are favoured over Cabernet Sauvignon to form the majority of the blend, helping them achieve optimum ripeness.  Much like Chateau Fourcas Hosten, the wines have improved year on year since 2010 and the property were put on the radar thanks to a certain Robert Parker hailing the 2010 vintage as 'classed growth quality'.  High praise indeed!

Dark berry and spicy notes entice the nose, while ripe plum, blackberry and a touch of blueberry flavors entertain the taste buds. Juicy and structured, this is well balanced and has a long, velvety finish.
