Stellenbosch, South Africa
Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot
This is a big, bold red with real polish - like a Bordeaux in safari gear. Botmaskop is Delaire Graff’s signature blend, and it delivers rich blackcurrant, dark plum and spice with velvety tannins and a proper, lingering finish. There’s depth and structure here, but also balance and finesse. It’s powerful without being shouty.
Ideal with a slow-cooked lamb shoulder, steak night, or even a smoky aubergine dish. Best opened an hour ahead - or poured while the playlist shifts from jazz to something with a bit more swagger.
