Scores

(fermented and aged in 400-liter French oak barrels, 25% new): Pale yellow-gold. Aromas of white plum, white peach and cumin, plus hints of flowers and honey. Dense, rich and sweet (but just 1.8 g/l r.s.), offering a silky texture with well-integrated energy. Spicy stone fruit, nutty oak and wild herb flavors lead to a chewy, long finish. Nicely saline, very dry wine with concentration and personality.
90 Points, Stephen Tanzer

Below Badenhorst's property. Vines are 30 to 40 years old.  The grapes were whole bunch pressed with no sulphur added and barrel fermented for 14 days. Maturation took place in 400-litre 25% new French barrels for 10 months. No bâtonnage or malolactic fermentation. Dense, savoury, meaty fruit with real confidence. Nothing pretty and honeyed about this – it’s a mensch! Firm spine. Hint of pine even. Really interesting.
17/20 Points, Jancis Robinson

ProducerDelaire Graff

In 2003 Laurence Graff OBE acquired the Avantuur estate in Stellenbosch, he set to create one of the leading South African wine estates. From the high-altitude terraces, located on the steep slopes of Botmaskop Mountain and frequently cooled by Atlantic breezes, the estate can count on impeccable grapes that carry the intensity of fruit that is the hallmark of Delaire Graff wines. Under Graff’s ownership and the skilled Morné Vrey, Delaire Graff wines have regularly won international and national awards and the estate has become established as one of the best in South Africa.
