This Grenache is a small batch produced

from a limited amount of barrels. The fruit is

sourced from a parcel in Piekenierskloof and

also Stellenbosch, blended together in order

to bring you the best of both worlds of what

this variety can offer. The wine offers lots

of concentrated red fruits both on the nose

and pallet – strawberries, raspberries, hints of

pomegranate and blueberry.

Elegant on the palate with a soft mouthfeel

and fruit sensation. It has soft refined tannins

and aged in old French oak barrels for up to 12 months

80 | Quite a bretty aroma. And palate. Warm, fleshy fruits but the Brett is too distracting.

82 | Good colour, bright & youthful. But it's bretty. Drying out, funky taste.

84 | Raspberry, cooked strawberry notes. Meaty, bretty notes quite dominant and although there is some density on the palate, the brett clips the finish to leave hard, metallic edge.

90 | juicy crunchy red fruits, candied fruit, generous wight and profile,and the boozy finish to match the wine's frame. Hedonistic
