Winemaker Marelise Niemann about this wine:
"My drive for Grenache has led me to find the one and only vineyard of Grenache Gris planted in South Africa. This is the pink-skinned cousin of Grenache Blanc. ‘Gris’ translates to ‘grey’, and grapes are genetically identical to Blanc or Noir grapes, but have a copper-coloured skin, so the wines they produce tend to be darker and deeper in flavour, with more tension than a Blanc would have. This vineyard is planted in the Voor-Paardeberg region just outside of Swartland. The soil is made up of decomposed granite and clay, giving it a fine texture and rich flavor."
A wonderful example of an aged South-African white. Still full of energy and texture balanced with crisp acidity.
