Reserve

Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon

The Delaire Graff Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon from Stellenbosch is an exquisite example of South African winemaking mastery. This red wine captivates with its full-bodied presence, unveiling layers of complexity as it breathes. The nose is greeted with opulent aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and a hint of cedar, evoking the lush terrain of its winegrowing region. On the palate, the wine showcases a vibrant acidity that lifts the rich, dark fruit flavors and is beautifully balanced by firm, structured tannins. The Delaire Graff Reserve also exhibits a remarkable depth, with silky texture and a long, lingering finish that features subtle notes of tobacco and dark chocolate. This award-winning wine reflects the unique mesoclimate and meticulous handcrafted techniques of Stellenbosch, making it a standout selection for both casual enthusiasts and discerning connoisseurs.

Region:


Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch is the heart and soul of South African wine, as important to the country's winemaking prestige as Napa is to the United States or Bordeaux to France. This beautiful region comprises seven sub-regions, all centered around the leafy university town of Stellenbosch. Winemaking here is influenced by the cooling sea breezes that sweep in off False Bay, and the crumbly, mineral-rich granite soils. While perhaps most famous for its beloved Pinotage, Stellenbosch also offers a diverse range of varietals, such as its impeccable Bordeaux blends, fragrant Syrah, crisp Chenin Blanc and outstanding Chardonnay.
