{"product_id":"2025-cabernet-franc-rose-delaire-graff","title":"2025, Cabernet Franc Rosé, Delaire Graff","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHow it tastes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA delicate shade of pink, with freshly crushed red berries, a touch of candyfloss and the subtle minty note that marks it out as Cabernet Franc. Crisp and refreshing but with real texture from the lees, and a seductive spicy kick on the finish — 100% Cabernet Franc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelaire Graff sits at the top of the Helshoogte Pass in Stellenbosch's Banghoek Valley. Wine writer John Platter bought the farm in 1982 and named it Delaire, \"from the sky\", for the views; jeweller Laurence Graff acquired it in 2003 and spent six years rebuilding it into the estate it is today, with Morné Vrey as winemaker and Kallie Fernhout in the vineyards. The fruit for the rosé comes from selected Stellenbosch vineyards, mostly on the Simonsberg and Helderberg mountains, from vines averaging 14 years old on granite-derived Hutton soils cooled by Atlantic breezes; the vineyards are IPW-certified sustainable and the grapes are picked by hand in the cool of early morning. After a gentle pressing for colour, the juice ferments with selected yeasts and rests on fine lees with fortnightly stirring, and a small barrel-fermented portion is blended in for depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood with grilled prawns, salmon, salade niçoise and lighter poultry dishes. Under screwcap and made for drinking young and fresh, within a couple of years of the vintage. Serve well chilled at 8–10°C. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Delaire Graff Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55718646415743,"sku":"HNW-5586825A","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/4192\/4998\/files\/2023_CabernetFrancRose_DelaireGraff.png?v=1755807482","url":"https:\/\/www.edkawines.com\/products\/2025-cabernet-franc-rose-delaire-graff","provider":"Edka Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
