Excellent excellent excellent 🤌🤌🤌

'23 has an unmistakeable citrussy element to it

We love it with a splash of gin

Especially so if it is this exceptional example of Chenin Blanc made by one of our favourite wine makers

Stellenbosch Grenache '24 Helderberg Excellent excellent excellent 🤌🤌🤌This is Mick & Jeanine Cravens debut release of the Grenache bushvines they planted back in 2017 at the same Polkadraai Hills site as their cult wine, Pinot Gris. Keeping true to their style, grapes were harvested early for freshness and lower alcohol. They were then destemmed and fermented whole in open top stainless steel fermenters. Gentle pumpovers or punchdowns were done 1 2 times per day for the duration of fermentation before finally being aged
