97 Delaire Graff Laurence Graff Reserve 2012 750ml 6 (1 x 6) R24 000 – 28 000 PROVENANCE Wine Cellar ITEM NOTES Nestled between majestic mountains on the Helshoogte pass, Delaire was established by John and Erica Platter in the early 1980s and is now one of the jewels in the Cape Winelands. Today it is owned by luxury brand mogul, Laurence Graff. Under the auspice of winemaker Morne Vrey, Delaire Graff has amassed a host of awards and is listed as a ‘first growth’producer by Tim Atkin MW. The crown jewel is produced in honour of the proprietor, assembling the very finest from the incredible estate. ‘Worthy icon label, 2012 compromises 5 best barrels of Cab Reserve with 4% splash of petit Verdot. Class shows in purity of fruit & subtle detail, rather than raw power. Seductively plush with endless finish.’ Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2012, 5 stars
