History of Juggernaut Hillside Cabernet and the hillside vineyards

The goal is intense flavor and structure through challenging terroirs with limited yields.

About the 2023 Hillside Cabernet Sauvignon

This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from 2023 displays a powerful Californian style and enjoys a reputation for consistency and affordability. The wine offers concentrated fruit and elegant power through the combination of ripe grapes and balance.

Grapes, harvest and vinification

The Cabernet Sauvignon is harvested from hillside vineyards with poor soils and limited water supply, resulting in small, concentrated berries. The wine ages for 12 to 18 months in French oak barrels. New barrels provide structure and vanilla notes without dominating.

Color, smell and taste

In the glass, a deep, almost black color. The aroma offers spicy plum, blackberries, blackcurrant, and nuances of vanilla, violets, and espresso. The taste is full, broad, and juicy with dusty tannins, blackcurrants, and a long, spicy finish.

The Juggernaut Wine Collection - Over de Leeuw

Powerful, muscular, and impressive… it is no wonder that Cabernet Sauvignon is often regarded as the king of the wine world. For Juggernaut’s very first wine, it was therefore only logical to adorn the label with an animal that is just as fierce, full of character, and imposing as what is inside the bottle.
