Delaire Botmaskop 2002

2006 Juliet Cullinan Wine Connoisseur's Awards - Gold
4 stars John Platter
Juliet Cullinan Wine Connoisseur's Award 2005 - Gold

A classic full-bodied Cabernet, made only in exceptional years from vineyards high on the Botma's Peak. A third of the wine was made in an old world style with post fermentation on the skins, with the remainder made in a ripe fruit-driven new world style, blended to produce a wine which embodies the best South African wine making.
