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.
Description
Deep, intense, almost black colour. Powerful and fresh, densely woven bouquet of cherry, blackberry, blueberry and liquorice, playing with a base of cedar wood, black pepper, and Havana tobacco. Velvety attack, mellow and succulent, developing an exceptional density in the mouth without any astringency, providing tender and creamy tannins. A wine soft like butter, perfectly integrated and almost weightless, with an infinite persistence. Burgundy-like finesse and New World force unite admirably in a masterpiece of equilibrium, with an immense maturation potential.
Food Pairing
Enjoy with beef Wellington, T-bone steak or hard cheeses.
