On the 2nd of February 1659 Jan van Riebeeck the first Commander of the Cape noted in his diary: “Fine warm weather… Today praise be to God wine was made for the first time from Cape grapes.” On the 2nd of February 2009 three hundred and fifty vintages later four men share their passion for wine and a vision for the future: a world-class wine from South Africa combining the best terroirs of the Cape with Old World winemaking expertise. On the ground was Giorgio Dalla Cia whose knowledge of South African vineyards is legendary. Thrilled by the idea the late Denis Dubourdieu joined the group: master winemaker to numerous icon wines in Bordeaux Hermitage and elsewhere. Our first vintage G. 2010 was released to rave reviews. 2011 and 2012 continue to set a new standard – on par with and above the greatest wines of the world. 2013 and 2014 regularly break preconceptions in international blind tastings.
THE SPIRIT OF G. is the essence of the ‘First Growth of the Cape’. Distilled from the juicy grape skins that gave birth to the wine, our Marc du Cap enjoys the same uncompromised quality as G. in its creation. This barrel-aged Multi Vintage blend has been produced in a limited edition of 499 bottles only.
Nose:
Extraordinarily deep bouquet with impressive yet noble volume and smooth hints of caramelized apricot tarte, roast hazelnuts, Crème brûlée, smoky oak, Vieille Prune plum brandy, and cinnamon baked apples.
Palate:
Silky density and marvellous roundness on the palate. Rich and mild body and nevertheless with so much personality and character.
Finish:
Ample, persistent and most harmonious finish.
