Botmaskop

Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon

The Delaire Graff Botmaskop is a luxurious expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from the esteemed Stellenbosch region in South Africa. This wine captivates the senses with its deep ruby color and an aromatic profile that is rich with dark fruit notes, underscored by elegant hints of tobacco and a touch of oak. On the palate, it exhibits a full-bodied character, perfectly balanced by a bright acidity that adds a lively, mouthwatering quality. The tannins are well-structured and firm, providing a powerful backbone that supports the wine's layered complexity. With a fruit intensity that is both prominent and sophisticated, Delaire Graff Botmaskop offers a harmonious blend of flavors that linger on, making it an exceptional choice for those who appreciate bold and nuanced red wines.

Coastal Region

Covering most of the Western Cape, the Coastal Region is the beating heart of South Africa's wine industry. Cooled by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and sheltered by mountains to the south and east, the region enjoys perfect conditions for grapevines to thrive. This is where you will find the world-famous sub-regions of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl. Wines labeled as Coastal Region are likely to be made from grapes sourced from a few different sub-zones, taking advantage of a wide range of mesoclimates and soil types. Look out for South Africa's flagship grapes: rounded Chenin Blanc, bold, figgy Pinotage and international grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Shiraz too.
