De Grendel Rubaiyat
The Rubaiyat is De Grendel’s flagship wine, first made in 2006 when cellar master Charles Hopkins was asked by Sir David Graaff to make an ‘iconic’ wine for the Estate.
A classically poetic Bordeaux style blend consisting of a quatrain of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, the Rubaiyat was named after Omar Khayyam’s exquisite collection of 1000 Persian love poems from the 10th century, held dear by the late Sir David. Each successive vintage features a different quatrain from the poem on the label, hence the blend of four varietals.
The wine has an intense red colour and a mildly savoury nose with nuances of roasted black olives, wild fynbos, red berries, and black plums. The palate is pure and rich with excellent concentration and intensity. Tannins are finely textured, leading to a full-flavoured wine with a lengthy finish.
Varietal blend: 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Petit Verdot, 6% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc.
Bottle size: 750ml
