Our wine – Cinq 2020
The 2020 vintage of Van Biljon Cinq continues the estate’s tradition of crafting a distinguished Bordeaux-style blend from the Polkadraai Hills of Stellenbosch. The wine reflects the character of deep decomposed granite soils and the cooling maritime influence of False Bay.
Aromatically expressive, the wine reveals layers of blackcurrant, dark cherry and subtle violet notes, complemented by hints of cedar, graphite and classic French oak after 18 months of barrel maturation. The palate is vibrant and structured, with beautifully fine-grained tannins supporting the rich dark fruit core, while fresh acidity brings balance and elegance.
The result is a wine of power and precision, where polished structure and pure fruit combine to deliver a long, refined finish – showcasing both the pedigree of the Polkadraai Hills and the meticulous winemaking behind Van Biljon Cinq.
Van Biljon Cinq has earned its place among the finest wines, gracing the tables of prestigious Michelin-starred restaurants in Belgium, England, and Scotland. With a reputation for excellence, this distinguished wine has also been selected for three consecutive years to be served in the Royal Box at the prestigious OUT-SOURCING! INC Royal Windsor Cup Final luncheon, held at the Guards Polo Club.
Each pour reflects a dedication to quality and craftsmanship, making it a truly celebrated offering on the world stage.
