A pale crystalline yellow brightness dominates the glass. The nose offers complex aromatics of lemon peel, wet stone minerality, and white flowers. You will find a great freshness on the palate with a wonderful mouthfeel. Flavors of pithy yellow citrus, tart green apple, and white peach create impressive intensity. This wine is a brilliant example of modern, vibrant Swartland Grenache Blanc.
Grapes for this Grenache Blanc come from vineyards planted on the slopes of Riebeeckberg. The vines grow on schist and granite soils, contributing immense minerality. Producers harvest the grapes by hand and whole-bunch press them. Fermentation occurs naturally, splitting the juice 50% in older 500ml French oak barrels and 50% in stainless steel tanks. The wine aged on the primary lees for nine months. This process ensures layers of flavor and texture.
