DE GRENDEL RUBAIYAT 750 ml

Discover De Grendel Rubaiyat, a standout red wine from one of Cape Town's most historic farms. Rooted in the Graaff family's centuries-long legacy, De Grendel commands a prime spot on elevated slopes that face the sea, offering sweeping views across Cape Town. What sets it apart? This vineyard sits at 350 meters above sea level, just seven kilometers from the ocean—the sole one in South Africa with such distinction. That rare positioning infuses every bottle with a sense of place that's hard to replicate.

Pour a glass, and fresh notes of cigar box greet you first, mingling with blueberry crumble, dark chocolate, and a subtle whisper of aniseed. Those aromas pull you in, promising depth right from the start. On the palate, bold yet well-rounded tannins deliver a smooth, textured richness that coats effortlessly. Dark and red berries burst through—think raspberries, black currants, and mulberries—layered beneath sundried black olives and dried lavender for an intriguing twist.

Acidity cuts in with fresh vigor, striking perfect balance while extending the finish into elegant lengths. At 14.50% ABV and in a standard 750 ml bottle, this dry South African red (sweetness level 01) invites lingering moments. Priced at 64.49, it's an accessible entry to a wine shaped by extraordinary terrain and timeless heritage.

Whether savoring solo or sharing at a gathering, De Grendel Rubaiyat captures the drama of its sea-kissed slopes in every sip. Fans of nuanced reds from Cape Town will find it compelling, a bottle that rewards curiosity and elevates any occasion. Elevate your collection with this unique expression from South Africa's coastal vineyards.
