Single Vineyard Certified (100% Grenache blanc)
W.O. Klein Karoo
Welgevonden (Middelplaas/De Rust) – JD Grinister (Farmer) Planted: 2009
Decomposed Schist and Shale clay loams. Red brown and hard when dry. Close to the nearby mountain rock pools, which supplies water when needed in tough dry spells.
Christian Eedes, Winemag
“Grapes from a Klein Karoo vineyard 345km east of Stellenbosch on schist and shale soils. Matured for nine months in older 228- and 400-litre barrels. Floral perfume, peach, sweet citrus and a hint of ginger. The palate is light yet intensely flavourful, zesty acidity playing off against pithy texture. Super-elegant. 93/100.”
