Decanter om:
Grenache
A gentle, mellow Grenache in a contemporary mould (note the alcohol), this is pale, pretty and utterly charming, with lots of raspberry, strawberry and cherry fruit, complemented by redcurrant jelly, pomegranate juice and a twist of orange zest and earthy spice. Just so very moreish, this is a convincing example of how well Grenache suits the Swartland, and would likely find favour with both new-wave Rhône and southern hemisphere Pinot Noir fans. Fruit from four different Swartland vineyards was given a long, gentle extraction and fermented with 60% whole bunches, then matured in concrete and old 500-litre barrels. Serve lightly chilled to experience it at its best.
