2024 David & Nadia Grenache Noir 6pk

95 Points – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate The David & Nadia 2024 Swartland Grenache Noir reflects a focused commitment to Grenache, inspired by high-altitude expressions such as Gredos in Spain with granitic soils. Sourced primarily from granite mountain vineyards, the wine sees about one month on skins with 50% whole-bunch fruit, gentle foot treading and gravity handling with infusions rather than pump-overs. Partial carbonic character adds lift, while aging occurs in concrete and older 500-liter barrels. Violet and lavender aromatics rise above a fresh and lively core, with precision and fine focus defining the palate. 94 Points – James Suckling Perfumed aromas of lavender, rosemary, red cherries and red plums. Some clay and seaweed too. It’s medium-bodied, tight and focused with chalky, crunchy tannins and salty undertones. Bright, saline and youthful yet with the structure to age. About 50% whole-bunch fermentation. Drink or hold.
