“A world class red that is surely the ‘First Growth’ of South Africa and imminently the country’s finest wine.”

G. 2018

GOING, GOING, GONE


G. 2018 is a monumental wine, a pure expression of 4G’s unwavering pursuit of excellence. Sourced from meticulously selected, low-yielding vineyards and crafted entirely by hand, this vintage combines profound depth with astonishing refinement.

Layer upon layer of dark fruit, spice, and mineral precision unfold in the glass, supported by sculpted tannins and a vibrant, endless finish. A wine of both power and grace, G. 2018 has already earned international acclaim, standing shoulder to shoulder — and winning — against the most celebrated wines of the world.

This is more than just a wine; it is a masterpiece.

“A multi-district blend which has already surpassed many of the great classics in various blind tastings. Be sure to try this - wine history in the making.”

A story about the farthest corners of our universe is reflected in the depth of this vintage and its elegant complexity.

A world-class wine with immense character, earthy minerality and delicate fire in an impressive finish linger endlessly - 4538 bottles carry the G. this vintage.

Our second wine, THE ECHO OF G. echoes the Grand Vin — a benchmark of excellence in South African winemaking. Created as a mirror image of the iconic G., it captures the same spirit of precision, passion, and commitment to quality, while offering a unique and vibrant expression of its own.

Sourced from hand-selected, low-yielding vineyards in Stellenbosch and surrounding regions, THE ECHO OF G. showcases the incredible potential of South Africa’s finest terroirs. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, it is a sophisticated, multi-layered wine, balancing power with finesse, structure with elegance, and richness with purity.

With its graceful complexity and lingering finish, THE ECHO OF G. is not merely an introduction to 4G’s artistry — it is a wine of true pedigree, destined to leave a lasting impression.
