More Information

PLEASE NOTE THIS WINE IS IN JOHANNESBURG
Nestled between majestic mountains on the Helshoogte pass, Delaire was established by John and Erica Platter in the early 1980s and is now one of the jewels in the Cape Winelands. Current owner, luxury brand mogul, Laurence Graff, has transformed the 'vineyards in the clouds' into a Cape art, hospitality and wine destination bar none. Under the auspice of winemaker Morne Vrey, Delaire Graff has amassed a host of awards and is listed as a ‘first growth’ producer by Tim Atkin MW.

Used as a lookout point for ships entering Table Bay harbour, the crest of this pass lay upon the slopes of the crucial peak named Botmaskop upon which Delaire Graff Estate is now nestled. Since the very first vintage In 1998, the Botmaskop has won numerous awards locally and internationally.

"An old-school version, with a roasted cedar and loamy backdrop to the dark currant, warmed fig and blackberry compote flavors. Racy charcoal and tobacco notes liberally line the grippy finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Shiraz and Malbec." - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 90/100
