The Spirit of G. Single vintage 2019

Crystal-clear bouquet with notes of white currant, young gooseberry, starfruit and white cherries, as well as fine floral hints of citrus flowers, chamomile and verbena.

Beautiful aroma develops on the palate with light tropical fruit, white apples and a delicate spicy-herbal top note. Invigorating freshness and vitality in the mouth; white hazelnut and pine nuts enrich the resonating fruit.

An incredibly clean spirit with seducing fruit and extremely subtle zest.

On the 2nd of February 1659 Jan van Riebeeck the first Commander of the Cape noted in his diary: “Fine warm weather… Today praise be to God wine was made for the first time from Cape grapes.” On the 2nd of February 2009 three hundred and fifty vintages later four men share their passion for wine and a vision for the future: a world-class wine from South Africa combining the best terroirs of the Cape with Old World winemaking expertise. On the ground was Giorgio Dalla Cia whose knowledge of South African vineyards is legendary. Thrilled by the idea the late Denis Dubourdieu joined the group: master winemaker to numerous icon wines in Bordeaux Hermitage and elsewhere. Our first vintage G. 2010 was released to rave reviews. 2011 and 2012 continue to set a new standard – on par with and above the greatest wines of the world. 2013 and 2014 regularly break preconceptions in international blind tastings.
