Production Details A true legacy wine produced in limited quantities. Each individual bottle is numbered and supports the signature of Sir David Pieter De Villiers Graaff. Handpicked, individually vinified and matured for 16 months in 100% new, tight grain French oak barrels before blending, then returned to the same new barrels for an additional 6 months post-blending (total 22 months oak aging). Richly rewards aging for 10-12+ years as tannins soften and integrate.
