Grenache Blanc

Vineyards

Grapes are sourced from the Piekenierskloof, approximately 80km from the west coast. Unirrigated bush vines are planted in deep sandy soils. Elevated sites have a warm climate with cooling evening winds. Grapes were harvested on two picking dates. The earlier pick provides freshness and acidity. The second pick lends structure, body, and added concentration to the wine.

Winery

Respecting the delicate flavours of Grenache Blanc, the grapes are whole bunch pressed and allowed to spontaneously ferment. Maturation takes place on the lees; 50% in concrete eggs, 30% in seasoned 500ℓ oak barrels, and 20% in clay amphora.

Tasting Note

Typical floral notes of elderflower and honeysuckle are followed by preserved peach, fresh pear and cantaloupe. Fresh and light on entry, the floral character follows through with notes of rose water and musk, combining with stone fruit and melon. Zippy acidity and a focus on fruit purity.
