Grenache Blanc 2022
Grenache, Western Coast, South Africa

VINEYARDS
Grapes are sourced from the Piekenierskloof, approximately 80km from the west coast. Unirrigated bush vines are planted in deep sandy soils. Elevated sites have a warm climate with cooling evening winds. Grapes were harvested on two picking dates. The earlier pick provides freshness and acidity. The second pick lends structure, body, and added concentration to the wine.

WINERY
In keeping with our philosophy of minimal intervention winemaking, Grenache Blanc grapes are whole bunch pressed and allowed to spontaneously ferment. Maturation takes place on the lees in two clay amphoras, one concrete egg, and one seasoned 500? oak barrel.

TASTING NOTE
Expressive floral notes of jasmine and white blossoms combine with aromas of fresh pear and honeydew melon. Clean and light on the palate, flavours of peaches and pears follow through, with spicy notes of ginger and a creamy
mid-palate adding texture and complexity. The freshness of the palate is complemented by an elegant finish of white
peaches and jasmine.
