Description The Delaire Graff Estate Banghoek Reserve Merlot is an expressive red wine from one of South Africa's best-known vineyards.… More

The Delaire Graff Estate Banghoek Reserve Merlot is an expressive red wine from one of South Africa's best-known vineyards. In the middle of the majestic Banghoek Valley - a region that owes its name "De Bange Hoek" (the "terrible corner") to former pioneers - the Merlot grapes thrive in the highest vineyards of the Delaire Graff Estate. The special combination of altitude, slope and soil structure creates the ideal conditions for exceptionally concentrated, aromatic berries.

The grapes for this Merlot are harvested exclusively by hand in the cool early morning hours. After careful selection, the grapes are gently destemmed and partially crushed. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature between 24°C and 26°C in open fermenters, supported by a targeted combination of punchdowns and pumpovers to extract the best possible color, structure and aromas. After primary fermentation, the wine spends a further four to six weeks on the skins at 16°C - a technique that adds depth and silky tannins.

The Delaire Graff Merlot then matures for 16 months in 70% new French oak barrels - this gives it structure, ageing potential and complex spicy notes without overpowering the fruit.

The wine is a deep ruby red in the glass. The nose reveals complex aromas of dark plums, juicy wild berries and a hint of fine spice. On the palate, the Merlot is dense and elegant, with ripe, polished tannins and remarkable balance. The structure is firm but supple, the finish is long and characterized by dark fruit and subtle oak spice.

This elegant Merlot is an ideal accompaniment to hearty meat dishes such as braised leg of lamb, fillet of beef or duck breast. It also impresses with mature hard cheese or a lentil curry with roasted aromas.

Hamilton Russell Pinot Noir

The low-vigour, stony, clay-rich soil, cool maritime mesoclimate, naturally tiny yields of under 30 hl/ha and the philosophy of expressing our terroir in the wines give rise to a certain tightness, tannin line and elevated length to balance the richness and generosity of this Pinot Noir. The Pinot Noir is not overtly fruity, soft and sweet and it generally shows hints of that alluring primal character along with a dark, spicy, complex primary fruit perfume.Suitable for vegans.

The complexity also comes from the ageing of the small proportion of Sémillon in French wood. This Sauvignon Blanc, which combines the advantages of its growing regions, has a fresh, crisp acidity and a long finish.south Africa's wine pope John Platter awards this white wine 4.5 out of a maximum of 5 stars.
