Made from 100% Cabernet Franc grapes, this exceptional rosé displays flavours of freshly crushed berries and candyfloss with a slightly minty nose. With a richly textured palate and crisp, balanced acidity, it presents a full dry finish.

Minerality

After being destemmed and crushed at Delaire Graff Estate’s state-ofthe-art gravity-fed winery, grapes were gently pressed to ensure perfect colour and texture. Following settling, fermentation took place, with yeast selected to beautifully complement the unique style and flavours of Cabernet Franc. Left on fine lees with fortnightly stirring to develop palate weight, the final blend included a small portion of barrel-fermented rosé to add extra depth to the flavour profile.

Significant rainfall was experienced at the start of the season, with little to no rainfall from the end of September to mid-February. Coupled with warm summer temperatures, these conditions accelerated the ripening of early cultivars, leading to modest yields and grapes of excellent quality. Grapes were handpicked in the cool early hours of the morning from selected vineyards across Stellenbosch, with the majority grown on the magnificent Simonsberg and Helderberg mountain ranges – a region renowned for rich, granite-based soils and cooling sea breezes, which create optimal conditions for balanced ripeness, natural acidity and concentrated flavours.

Delaire Graff

The combination of Maritime and mountain is a very unique terroir and here in Stellenbosch it creates our award-winning Delaire Graff wines. A cooling Atlantic sea breeze washes over our steeply sloping vineyards giving us a rich intensity of fruit. Delaire Graff wines rank among the most prestigious in the Southern Hemisphere. Our unique terroir on the crest of the panoramic Helshoogte Mountain Pass is something our ambitious winemaker explores harvest after harvest. A long slow ripening season ensures world-class clarets and red wines big in structure with soft tannins and elegance. Our white wines capture the freshness of the harvest while irresistible rosé and a sparkling Brut completes an elegantly balanced portfolio. We are proud to have achieved First Growth status in South Africa – reward for creating our country’s most desirable wines on first pressing.
