Light, floral, elegant and almost Pinot Noir like, with some texture and tobacco notes from 60% whole bunches, pomegranate and wild strawberry flavors and some underlying grip.
The 2021 vintage consists of five Grenache noir vineyards, with the core a vineyard from the Paardeberg planted in the early 2000’s. Joining this vineyard is another Paardeberg vineyard, recently planted on the north-eastern side of the Langkloof valley, overlooking the Aprilskloof.
Another addition is a 2016 planted vineyard in schist of the Kasteelberg. This vineyard was planted on terraces high up in the mountain. Finally, Grenache noir from a farm north of Malmesbury was also added, a vineyard we have been working with since 2012. Twelve different pickings were done from the five Grenache noir vineyards.
