Delaire Graff Botmaskop, 2019

With 20 hectares of vineyards situated on the slopes of Botmaskop Mountain planted with Bordeaux reds and Chardonnay grapes, Delaire Graff Estate produces supremely elegant vintages and we are honoured to have been named one of the Top 50 wineries by the World’s Best Vineyards — placing first within the African continent.

Delaire means ‘from the sky’, and the wines they craft are an invitation to savour this unique piece of heaven and earth in Stellenbosch. Sitting on the crest of the panoramic Helshoogte Pass, the combination of mountain and maritime influences at Delaire Graff produce richer, more intensely flavoured grapes and finely nuanced wines.

From premium Stellenbosch vineyards, the Delaire Graff Botmaskop is a meticulously handcrafted blend of noble red varietals.  Whole berry fermented to ensure gentle extraction of flavours and matured in 50% new French oak for 16 months, the Botmaksop is a classically styled blend. Powerful, yet elegant and polished, it displays aromas of dark berry fruit, spice and cassis. The softness of tannins and balance in structure complete this wine on the palate.
