Delaire Graff Botmaskop is an opulent and polished blend from one of Stellenbosch's most celebrated estates, grown on the high-altitude terraces of Botmaskop Mountain on the crest of the Helshoogte Pass, where sea breezes off the Atlantic cool the vines and shape the estate's signature purity. Classic aromas of cassis and spice lead into a structured palate of liquorice and blackberry, all enveloped by fine, lingering tannins. Crafted under the guidance of viticulturist Kallie Fernhout and winemaker Morné Vrey at an estate classed as First Growth by Tim Atkin MW in 2022, Botmaskop reflects the meticulous, terroir-driven approach that has made Delaire Graff a world-class name in South African wine.
Delaire Graff is a jewel in the Cape Winelands, located in the historic Banghoek Valley of Stellenbosch. Originally a farm named Avontuur, the estate was purchased by wine writer John Platter in 1982, who renamed it Delaire, meaning "From the Sky," for its magnificent views. In 2003, Laurence Graff OBE acquired the estate and, following a six-year redevelopment programme, transformed it into Delaire Graff: an iconic producer of world-class wines and a luxury boutique estate. Under the guidance of viticulturist Kallie Fernhout and winemaker Morné Vrey, the team crafts its award-winning wines from the unique terroir on the crest of the Helshoogte Mountain Pass, with grapes grown on high-altitude terraces on the steep slopes of Botmaskop Mountain, cooled by sea breezes from the Atlantic. The wines are known for their outstanding purity, the hallmark of Delaire Graff. Delaire Graff was classed as First Growth in 2022 by Tim Atkin MW, and featured in the Top 100 of the World's Best Vineyards Awards 2025.
