About this Item
With vast experience at Morgenhof and Buitenverwachting, Jean Daneel established his own label and then a cellar in the town of Napier. Napier, serving as the northern entry point to the Cape Agulhas region, is home to JD Daneel Wines & Bistro, a family business. Nestled at the foot of the Soetmuisberg, between colorful farmland, lies the quaint town of Napier. This picturesque Overberg village with its rural atmosphere, serves as the northern entry point to the Cape Agulhas region.
This, his signature red, is an expression of Jean’s extensive experience with Bordeaux varieties, and inspired by the French classics.
