Strandveld Vineyards Grenache 2023

90 Points | Double Gold - Gilbert & Gaillard. A beautifully expressive Grenache from the cool coastal vineyards of Elim, where Atlantic winds bring freshness and definition to this naturally generous grape. Small batch and partly whole bunch fermented, it combines vivid red fruit with savoury herbs, fine tannins and a distinctly coastal energy. A superb match for roast lamb, pork or game birds. Taste Sour cherry, mulberry, wild strawberry and black cherry lead into liquorice, dried herbs and fynbos. Juicy and textured on the palate, with subtle oak spice, mouth watering acidity and fine tannins carrying the fruit through a long, savoury finish.
