Vibrant dark fruit, earthy notes, and clove and pepper spice lead the aromatics of this Stellenbosch Shiraz, accompanied by soft licorice undertones. Natural acidity and classic granular tannins are very characteristic of the voluptuous nature of a Stellenbosch Shiraz.

Delaire Graff Estate is situated in Stellenbosch, in the heart of South Africa’s most historic and prestigious wine region. Founded by Simon van der Stel in 1679, the region has a long and respected winemaking heritage, built on strong viticultural knowledge and a tradition that has continued to grow over the centuries.
In 1982, the well-known wine writer John Platter bought the property, then known as Avontuur. Inspired by its magnificent view, he renamed it Delaire Estate, meaning “From the Sky.”
In 2003, Laurence Graff, Chairman of Graff Diamonds International, acquired the estate and set out to transform it into South Africa’s most desirable destination for art, hospitality, and wine. Today, that vision has been realized, with two outstanding restaurants, a state-of-the-art winery, exclusive lodges, a destination spa, and two luxury boutiques.
Delaire Graff Estate’s unique terroir, located on the crest of the panoramic Helshoogte Mountain Pass, is known for its high-altitude vineyards, excellent soils, and cooling sea breezes. The estate aims to produce red wines with structure, elegance, and soft tannins, while its white wines are crafted to capture the freshness of the harvest.
With one of the most advanced cellars in the Southern Hemisphere, which became operational in 2008, the estate quickly established itself as one of South Africa’s leading wine producers. From the outset, the quality of the wines has been exceptional, and Delaire has enjoyed a remarkable rise.
