AWARDS

2016 Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show - American Express Trophy for Best Cabernet Sauvignon, Old Mutual Trophy for Best Red Wine Overall

ageing : The wine is suited for aging of 6-10 years.

in the vineyard : A wet 2013 winter and unpredictable weather conditions during harvest presented a challenging vintage. However, the subsequent quality is fantastic and resulted in excellent extraction along with full, ripe flavours.

about the harvest: The grapes were handpicked in early hours of the morning from Delaire Graff Estate’s mountain vineyards. All grapes were extensively hand sorted to ensure only the best quality is used for wine making.

in the cellar : The wine was produced with meticulous care – hand sorting, whole berry fermentation, gentle extraction of fruit, basket pressed, matured in 80% new French oak barrels and a rigorous selection to decide on only the best.
