Restless River Main Road & Dignity 2019
Restless River is synonymous with authentic, elegant wine. Craig and Anne Wessels own and run this small family estate in the cool Hemel-en-Aarde Valley.
Craig is committed to absolute site expression and a minimalist approach. Each vineyard on their farm is registered as a Single Vineyard and the wines are named after the vineyards.
Being terroir driven, the focus is on 100% single varietal wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. They also occasionally release a wine called Wanderlust – which changes every year and lays outside the core tenets of Restless River.

product description
Restless River Main Road & Dignity Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
Vineyards
Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Vallley. Slopes are north-west-facing, the shallow soils range from light, well-drained gravel to mineral-rich koffieklip. Below this is decomposed granite clay and quartz.
Winemaking and Maturation
Select parcels were hand-picked over a period of four weeks in late summer. After a light de-stemming the grapes were naturally fermented in small, open-top oak vats. A couple of short punch downs per day kept the ferment healthy while the various strains of indigenous yeasts did their work. After a long maceration the skins were pressed in a wooden basket press.
The wine was aged on lees in French oak barriques (25% new) for around 20 months.
Bottle-aged for a further two years before release.
Tasting Notes
Cool-climate Cabernet allows for a longer ripening period and thus incredibly integrated tannin. Craig’s fastidious approach results in a wine of structure and length, without relying on big, ripe flavours or lashings of new oak. Pure class.
