Vineyard Delaire Graff
Delaire Graff in Stellenbosch – origin and style
Delaire Graff is situated on the Helshoogte Pass in Stellenbosch and is widely regarded as one of South Africa’s leading wine estates. The combination of elevation, a relatively cool climate and mineral-rich soils creates ideal conditions for wines with elegance, structure and a defined aromatic profile.
The wines show a precise balance between freshness and structure, with fine acidity and clear, pure fruit expression. They work equally well as refined food companions or for more considered enjoyment, combining accessibility with a clearly defined style.
Grape varieties and style – focus on clarity and expression
Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon form the core of the range and are produced in a variety of styles. The white wines stand out for their freshness, structure and subtle texture, while the reds offer depth, expression and good ageing potential.
The portfolio is complemented by additional varieties and blends, all crafted to deliver balance, clarity and a consistent style. These wines are suited to both everyday drinking and more special occasions.
Range and winemaking approach
The range extends from approachable wines to more complex reserve expressions with ageing potential. This clear structure makes it easier to navigate the portfolio and find wines suited to different needs and occasions.
In the cellar, the focus is on precision, with careful winemaking and well-judged oak use to highlight the character of each wine. The result is a portfolio with a clear identity and a well-defined style.

Alongside its wines, Delaire Graff is also known for its combination of wine, art and architecture. For wine enthusiasts, however, the focus remains firmly on the estate’s structured and consistent portfolio, which brings together elegance, quality and clarity of style.
