De Grendel
Currently, in their fourth generation, the Graaff’s can be attributed many successes, including supplying electricity to the city of Cape Town for the first time, building the biggest refrigeration company in the early 1900s called Imperial Cold Storage, the 1st Baronet was even the mayor of Cape Town at the age of 32. Today they are a progressive bunch with a focus on education and empowerment. The wine and their seat overlooking the whole of Cape Town speaks for itself. We invite you to get acquainted.
Description
The wine presents an intense and deep red colour, revealing a complex aroma of musk, cinnamon, cloves, red cherries, cigar box and all spice. It has a broad, juicy, and silky- smooth palate with heaps of red fruit, roasted almonds, and maraschino cherries. Fine, textured tannins crescendos to an exceptionally long finish.
Food Pairing
Heavier, fattier, saltier and spicier meat dishes. French Cassoulet made with harricot beans, chorizo, guinea fowl and pork will be another great compliment to this full-flavoured wine. A classic Coq au Vin will work equally well.
