Elgin Valley

2024
- Elgin Valley
- Grenache
The nose opens with an elegant bouquet of fresh red berries, underpinned by delicate floral notes and a whisper of cracked white pepper. On the palate, the wine is incredibly lithe, showcasing a core of juicy raspberry fruit that dances across the tongue. Its structure is defined by fine-grained tannins that provide a sophisticated framework without masking the fruit's natural vibrancy. The finish is persistent, clean, and refreshing, leaving a lingering impression of spiced berries and granite-like minerality. This is a quintessential cool-climate Grenache that emphasizes poise over raw power.

Sutherland
In the high-altitude, cool-climate embrace of the Elgin Valley, the Sutherland estate captures the unique spirit of South African viticulture. Shielded from the intensity of the coastal heat, the Grenache vines thrive in ancient, mineral-rich soils, developing a distinct profile that balances elegance with remarkable depth of character. The 2024 vintage reflects a meticulous dedication to purity, where the winemaking team intervenes minimally to let the fruit speak for itself. This wine represents a modern evolution of the Cape's winemaking, offering a vibrant expression of Grenache that is both refined and deeply rooted in the rugged, wind-swept terroir of its origin.
