Delaire Graff Shiraz, 2020

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.

This juicy, ripe and approachable Shiraz with its ruby colour and purple tints has a spicy white pepper undertone as well as lavender and  dark red fruit aromas of mulberries. It is characterised by versatility,
demonstrating a smooth soft palate with a savoury finish.

Matured in old French oak barrels for 10 months to maintain the freshness of this varietal, this Shiraz is a perfect accompaniment to warm Winter dishes or served slightly chilled as a Summer red.
