Grangehurst Daylea Red Blend

We are on the 2011 vintage then moving on to the 2014. This is a firm favourite with many of our regular customers and a great wine for the money.

Below is the info for the 2014. This is a seriously good wine (despite the presentation!).

Cabernet Sauvignon (54%) Merlot (19%) Shiraz (16%) Pinotage (9%) Petit Verdot (2%) with 18 months in oak.

£13.99

SKU 1053-1

Below are the notes for the 2014 which is slightly different to the 2011 of which we still have a few cases. The blend is different and the oak ageing a bit less too. In case you prefer to try the 2014 before we sell through the 2011 please add a note in the reason for ordering tab to let us know and we will send you the 2014.

    Very tasty, great value. Planning to buy again!

  2. Robert

    Dry, deep brick red, tanins, leather, chocolate and berry fruits. Definitely a wine for when you are feeling adult. I’ve added it to my virtual cellar.
