David & Nadia Grenache 2018
Swartland, Coastal Region, South AfricaFrom early 2000s planted Paadreberg and Malmesbusy vineyards, primarily organic, this was 60% whole bunch fermented before aging 1 year in old 500L barrels. Light and graceful, with a whisper of tannins holding wild raspberry, wild strawberry, cherry leather across a taut 13% palate. Tannins are soft and sticky, hugging this through the lingering kirsch-licked finish. Lovely finesse throughout.Tasted: 10 April 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices: Producer: David & NadiaGrape: Grenache Noir/Garnacha
