Grangehurst The Gap
R130,00
THE GAP is an inter-vintage blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon (with some Mourvà¨dre and Merlot). This oak-matured blend of the two varietals has resulted in a wine with complexity, rounded tannins and youthful freshness. The name and label design was inspired by the magnificent view from Grangehurst of Table Mountain and the gap between Ascension Buttress and Devil’s Peak.
