Aromas of bright red currant and perfumed strawberry immediately greet your nose. The palate is heartily fruited, yet remains supple and lithe. Subtle hints of pomegranate and earthiness add complexity. Firm, polished tannins provide structure before a long, persistent finish. Critics widely praise this wine for its incredible value.
This Grenache Noir is sourced from two vineyards within Stellenbosch. The rocky koffie klip soils and cooling ocean breezes contribute greatly to the wine’s character. Producers hand-picked grapes early to capture freshness. Winemaking involves whole berry carbonic maceration with wild yeast. This technique lifts the fruit profile and enhances liveliness. The wine matured for 11 months in older French oak barrels.
