About this Item

Rubaiyat, 2012
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

The De Grendel farm, situated on the slopes of Tygerberg Hill, dates back to 1720 with the first owner Claas Meyboom. In 1891, Dawie Graaff, the mayor of Cape Town, bought De Grendel farm and it has been in the Graaff family ever since. The first De Grendel wines were made in 2003 from the Graham Beck cellars and, in 2004, De Grendel opened their own wine cellars. With their 330 hectares of land, the Graaff family has a respect for nature and the environment. De Grendel is a member of the Biodiversity and Wine Initiative (BWI), is a carbon-negative farm, uses solar energy and follows water wise principles. In addition to wine farming the estate also does dairy farming.

Critics Ratings

'50% Petit Verdot, 45.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot, 0.5% Cabernet Franc. Matured for 18 months in 100% new French oak barrels. Complex aromatics of red and black berries, potpourri, cigar box and earth while the palate is full bodied but well balanced – good fruit definition matched by supple tannins.'- WineMag.co.za 2012 Vintage report (March 2022), 92/100
