Excelsior Cabernet 2007
This wine is pure value for the money you are willing to part with. Excelsior Cabernet is a South African Gem. During the “world Cup Soccer” let us enjoy some South African Wines. This wine is available at Lake Mary Cork&Olive. This wine is a crowd pleaser. Used by some of the best Restaurants in the Orlando Area, this wine is smooth and easy to drink. I watched the Orlando Magic’s 2nd game against Atlanta Hawks. It was a good game, but the wine made the game fantastic. I had some spicy chicken and rice to accompany this wine. The light acidity, and the sweetness made the food taste great. There is 14.5 % alcohol in this wine, I did feel it working magic. The Orlando Magic Basketball and the Excelsior Cabernet is a great combination
Excelsior Estate is an intriguing blend of vineyards and horses. The fourth and fifth generations of the De Wet family currently farm the land of their ancestors and continue an equine tradition dating back over a century. The estate turns out several full-bodied, fruity whites and lush, supple reds, and gives tribute to its horse-breeding origins with an equine-themed label.
