About this Item
The De Grendel farm, situated on the slopes of Tygerberg Hill, dates back to 1720 with the first owner Claas Meyboom. In 1891, Dawie Graaff, the mayor of Cape Town, bought De Grendel farm and it has been in the Graaff family ever since. The first De Grendel wines were made in 2003 from the Graham Beck cellars and, in 2004, De Grendel opened their own wine cellars. With their 330 hectares of land, the Graaff family has a respect for nature and the environment. De Grendel is a member of the Biodiversity and Wine Initiative (BWI), is a carbon-negative farm, uses solar energy and follows water wise principles. In addition to wine farming the estate also does dairy farming.

'The nose presents a herbal top note, followed by white peach, citrus, apple, and blackcurrant. The palate is lean and youthful, offering strikingly pure, clean fruit balanced by fresh acidity. The finish is long and pithy, highlighting its precision.' - WINEMAG.co.za 10-Year-Old Wine Report 2024, 95/100
