David & Nadia Grenache 2023
Swartland, South Africa
Four different vineyards across the Swartland produced the fruit for our 2023 vintage Grenache noir, all producing roughly equal volumes of the final blend. One of the four vineyards is found in the Paardeberg and was 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, and it continues to impress us with its quality. The third vineyard was planted in 2016 in the schist soils of the Kasteelberg. This vineyard was planted on terraces high up in the mountain. Finally, Grenache noir from a farm west of Malmesbury with high iron content granite soils was also blended in.

93 points – James Suckling
A blend of nine varieties that has aromas of lemon rind, chamomile, apricots and crushed stones. It’s textural and phenolic, with a medium to full body and mineral freshness throughout. A little austere and stony, with a touch of aniseed coming through at the end. 51% chenin blanc, 11% semillon, 10% colombard, 8% roussanne, 6% clairette blanche, 6% marsanne, 4% verdelho, 2% viognier and 2% grenache blanc. Drink now or hold.
93 Points Tim Atkin MW
Four different vineyards on iron, granite, schist and clay soils, supply the fruit for this impressive Swartland Grenache. Fermented with 60% whole bunches followed by a further month on skins, this is deceptively light and ethereal, with redcurrant, strawberry and pomegranate flavours, fine-boned tannins and a mineral core. 2024-29
