Grenache Noir

Vineyards

Grapes are sourced from the Piekenierskloof, about 80km from the west coast. Unirrigated bush vines are planted in deep sandy soils. Elevated sites have a warm climate with cooling evening winds.

Winery

In keeping with our philosophy of minimal intervention winemaking, 15% of the Grenache is fermented as whole clusters. Spontaneous ferment in open top fermentation tanks. Maturation takes place in seasoned 500l French oak barrels for approximately 14 months.

Tasting Note

Defined red fruit on the nose, showing ripe red cherry, strawberry and cranberry, with spicy notes of cinnamon and Parma ham, and a floral note of violets. Bright and polished on the palate with sour cherry acidity, soft tannin and notes of fynbos and sweet liquorice adding complexity to the red fruits. The fresh acidity balances well with the sweet fruit flavours, with juicy cranberry on the finish.
