The finish is long and smooth, with firm tannins. The bottle size is 750ml.
In honour of the life and legacy of Sir David Pieter De Villiers Graaff, the 1st Baronet of Cape Town, this red wine of exceptional quality was produced in tribute to the exemplary character and remarkable achievements of this great man.
De Grendel have produced a wine of the highest quality in keeping with the values exemplified by the first baronet. Vines, like man, take time to reach their full potential. Younger vines produce more fruit and are thus more economically viable, but once mature, produce substantially less fruit at an exceptionally higher quality.
A true legacy wine, produced in limited quantities to last for over 20 years, each individual bottle is numbered and supports the signature of Sir David Pieter De Villiers Graaff, in remembrance of the responsibility bestowed upon his children by his legacy.
Deep ruby garnet in colour, the nose is perfumed by layers of cedar wood, white pepper and clove which aptly underscore delectable nuances of black plum, prune and mulberry fruit with afterthoughts of blackcurrant. An enticing entry of elegant dried cranberry on the palate evolves into rich plum flavours supported by nuances of savoury cassis and perfumed, sweet tobacco leaf lingering with a finish that is long and lusciously augmented by firm, rounded tannins.
