About this Item
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. Current owner, luxury brand mogul, Laurence Graff, has transformed the 'vineyards in the clouds' into a Cape art, hospitality and wine destination bar none. 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.

Critics Ratings
‘Profound, penetrating 2011 melds honeyed butterscotch aromas with savoury thatch and cut grass notes. Powerful yet nuanced, with old Franschhoek Semillon (30%) adding gravitas to more flamboyant multi-regional Sauvignon Blanc.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2014, 4.5*
