The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.
A crown jewel of Delheim. The liquid delight of South Africa. Delheim Grand Reserve Stellenbosch captures all the best Stellenbosch has to offer. An excellent blend from the wonderful winemakers of Delheim. This winery has been operating in Stellenbosch for over 80 years, a breathtaking winery just a 45-minute drive from the metropolis of Cape Town. This king of Delheim will tempt you to take more sips. Until an empty bottle of Delheim Grand Reserve Stellenbosch sits before you.
A truly unique wine from Delheim. The Delheim Grand Reserve Stellenbosch is produced in limited quantities, with only 120 bottles coming to the Netherlands annually. This red wine is a perfect blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, reminiscent of a classic Bordeaux blend. The Cabernet Sauvignon (84%) plays a prominent role, which is clearly recognizable, but don't underestimate the Cabernet Franc (5%) and Merlot (11%), which give the wine character and softness. Each grape is grown in a separate vineyard, where it thrives. This results in exceptionally high quality.
The Delheim Grand Reserve Stellenbosch is aged for an impressive 16 months, 30% of which is in new oak. This is immediately evident in the aroma. Wild, earthy, and complex notes blend beautifully on the nose. Mulberries, vanilla, mint, blackcurrant, and a hint of truffles. A delicate aroma that leaves you wanting more. As soon as the Delheim Grand Reserve Stellenbosch touches your taste buds, you're hooked. A concentrated flavor plays with your tongue. You'll taste cassis, dried herbs, red berries, truffles, vanilla, mint, and firm tannins. The Delheim Grand Reserve Stellenbosch is not an everyday wine; it's a beautiful glass of wine to savor!
