Description

South Africa / Western Cape

Four wine enthusiasts decide to produce nothing less than one of the world's best wines in South Africa. No other winery in the world makes a comparable effort from manual selection on the vines to gentle pressing and sets new standards in the fine wine world. It is South Africa's first Premier Cru. However, this level of quality can only be achieved in extremely limited production and the wine is already one of the rarest and most sought-after cult wines in the world. The exclusive wines from 4G regularly trump the great Premier Grand Crus from Bordeaux at blind tastings. 2016 is the last vintage under the direction of the famous oenology professor and winemaker (including Cheval Blanc, d'Yquem and Margaux) Denis Dubourdieu. The wine was named Le Capitaine in his honor and is an equal monument to the charismatic professor and winemaker.
