David & Nadia Grenache Noir 2024
Price: 31,67€
DESCRIPTION
This Grenache Noir comes from old bush vines, organically farmed in the Swartland, on the granite soils of the Paardeberg, the schist of the Kasteelberg, and the clay near Malmesbury. The winemaking combines a significant proportion of whole clusters, a four-week maceration, and very gentle extraction, followed by about a year of aging in old 500-liter barrels and concrete vats.
The color is pale and luminous. The elegant nose offers aromas of cherry, cranberry, and dried herbs, with a subtle touch of tar and pebbles. The palate, light and delicious, reveals beautiful tension and fine tannins. Serve at around 14-15°C with roasted poultry or a charcuterie board.
REGION
Swartland
South Africa
North of Cape Town, the Swartland takes its name from the renosterbos, a local shrub that turns dark at certain times of year. The climate is hot and dry. Many of the vines are bush trained and dry farmed, on schist, granite and iron rich clay soils. The region is known for its old vine Chenin Blanc and for Rhône grapes: Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Cinsault. Since the 2000s, a generation of independent winemakers has worked here with minimal intervention in the cellar, making fresh, precise wines that stay true to their terroir.
