About this Item

Laurence Graff Reserve, 2012
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

Nestled between majestic mountains on the Helshoogte pass, Delaire was established by John and Erica Platter in the early 1980s and is now one of the jewels in the Cape Winelands. Current owner, luxury brand mogul, Laurence Graff, has transformed the 'vineyards in the clouds' into a Cape art, hospitality and wine destination bar none. Under the auspice of winemaker Morne Vrey, Delaire Graff has amassed a host of awards and is listed as a ‘first growth’ producer by Tim Atkin MW.

The crown jewel is produced in honour of the proprietor, assembling the very finest from the incredible estate.

Critics Ratings

‘Worthy icon label, 2012 compromises 5 best barrels of Cab Reserve with 4% splash of petit Verdot. Class shows in purity of fruit & subtle detail, rather than raw power. Seductively plush with endless finish.’ Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2012, 5*

‘Sourced from the same vineyard as the Reserve Cabernet, this pure Cabernet is cut from the same stylistic cloth but has even more finesse. Floral, mineral-edged and refined, it’s a remarkable wine that showcases the best of Stellenbosch. As ever, the tannins are finely judged, supporting rather than overwhelming the wine. Drink: 2015-24’ – Tim Atkin 2015 SA Wine Report, 97/100
