"Apricots, apple pie, charred hazelnuts, burnt lemons and chamomile on the nose. Full-bodied with bright acidity and a smoky, matchstick note. Compact. Sustainable. Drink now. Screw cap."
91 points, James Suckling

"Smart oak. Cedar, white pepper and spices that have such a ground-up tightness to them that they seem to turn to granite dust as they centre and settle themselves along and into the spine of the palate. White melon fruit, some citrus-pith bitter notes tucked into white fruit and lime and green cooking apple. Lots of midline tension. Refined." TC

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.

Tasting Notes

The grapes for this elegant rosé were handpicked in the early hours of the morning from selected vineyards on the Helshoogte and Helderberg Mountain. Made from 100% Cabernet Franc juice, this unique Rosé displays flavours of ripe strawberries, cassis and candyfloss with a juicy, crisp and dry finish.
