Availability: OutOfStock

A Cape Blend with a story, and a rare grape in it: Roobernet, a South African cross that gives the wine its dark colour and spice, blended with Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinotage and Shiraz by Pinotage master Jeremy Walker. It is a tribute to his late parents, and the name itself means a gift of dedication and respect to one’s ancestors. Rated 4.5 stars in Platter’s, and matured for nearly three years in French oak before release, it is a full bodied, elegant red with smooth, ripe tannins. Serve it with slow roasted lamb shanks, grilled fish, balsamic chicken livers or ratatouille, and decant it first.

Taste

Dark ruby and mulberry in colour. The nose and palate show red berries with mint, cedar and mocha. Full bodied and barrel matured, with smooth, ripe tannins, it is elegant and generous rather than heavy. Matured in 225 litre French oak for around 34 months. Drinking well now, and the winery says it should keep for up to 20 years from the vintage.

Blend

Cabernet Sauvignon 37%, Pinotage 33%, Shiraz 22%, Roobernet 8%

About the Producer

Grangehurst is a family owned boutique winery on the slopes of the Helderberg in Stellenbosch, founded in 1992 by winemaker Jeremy Walker and his parents, Eddie and Betty. It is named after their childhood homes in England, The Grange and Hurst Close, and it is known for traditional methods and for Jeremy Walker’s mastery of Pinotage. Nikela is a Nguni word, from the Xhosa and Zulu languages, meaning a tribute to one’s ancestors, and the wine honours his late parents. It was first made in 1997, and the grapes are selected from Helderberg and Simonsberg vineyards.

If a bottle is broken on delivery we will also replace or refund it but we do require photographic evidence of the breakage. Equally we can arrange for the bottles to be collected the next time you receive a delivery from us.
