Buy the incredibly elegant Momento Piekenierskloof Grenache 2023. Winemaker Marelise Niemann champions this high-altitude, single-site expression. Grapes come from dry-farmed bush vines planted in 1987. The vineyard sits at 750 metres on unique sandstone soils. This cooler-climate Grenache is deliberately taut and racy. The excellent 2023 vintage yielded a wine of great energy and concentration.
This is an elite, terroir-focused Grenache. Both top critics awarded the 2023 vintage a stunning 95/100 points. Tim Atkin MW and Christian Eedes gave it this remarkable score. This limited release is noted for its finesse and structure. It is a world-class example of New Wave South African winemaking.
The Momento Piekenierskloof Grenache 2023 is a savoury, cooler-climate style. It offers enticing aromatics of red cherry, cranberry, and rose. Pronounced notes of fynbos and white pepper also emerge. The palate is pure and precise. It is light-bodied yet intricate. Graceful tannins and racy acidity lead to a taut, long finish.
This graceful red wine pairs exceptionally well with roasted duck, mushroom risotto, and mild curries.
