Secure your bottle of the exceptional Momento Swartland Grenache Noir 2021. Winemaker Marelise Niemann believes Grenache is South Africa’s best grape. This is widely considered her finest expression of the variety to date. The wine comes from low-yielding bush vines on decomposed granite soils in the Paardeberg. The exceptional 2021 vintage produced a wine that is absolutely stunning.
This elegant Grenache has earned high praise from top critics. Christian Eedes of Winemag awarded the 2021 vintage 95/100 points. Decanter also gave it a score of 95/100. Tim Atkin MW noted its delicate, Pinot-like fruit and extreme age-worthiness.
The Momento Swartland Grenache Noir 2021 is absolutely bone-dry and elegant. It shows delicate, Pinot-like fruit with super-fine, persistent tannins. Wild strawberry, red and black cherry, earth, and spice mingle on the nose. A savoury heart is revealed beneath the fruit. The intense yet lithe concentration offers incredible freshness.
This refined red pairs beautifully with charcuterie, tandoori lamb, or delicate game dishes.
