Originating in northern Spain, Grenache has become renowned for its role in Rhone varietals and thrives in warmer climates, finding homes in new world wine-making countries like Australia and South Africa. With a rich, succulent palate and earthy undertones, Grenache offers a sensory journey like no other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrom Vineyard to Glass:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOur Grenache hails from a trellised vineyard planted in 2008 on a Northern slope, carefully tended to bring out the best in each grape. Hand-harvested, sorted, and destemmed, the grapes undergo fermentation on the skins. Aging in a combination of 50% second-fill and 50% third-fill barrels adds complexity and depth. From this meticulous process, only the finest 7 barrels are selected and blended to create this exceptional wine, with just 2800 bottles produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWinemaker's Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUpon pouring, this wine bursts from the glass with notes of candied red currants and an intense fruitiness. The palate is bright, with crisp tannins and vibrant acids, complemented by inner mouth perfume and a light, elegant mouthfeel. The long, graceful finish leaves a delightful streak of cranberry, inviting you to savor each sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAge-Worthy Excellence:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhile enjoyable now, our Grenache will further develop and mature with bottle aging for three to five years, unlocking new layers of complexity and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePerfect Pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis versatile wine shines when paired with hearty traditional South African dishes and Mediterranean cuisine, enhancing the dining experience with its depth and versatility.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stellenbosch Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43983223488611,"sku":null,"price":1590.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/5640\/7907\/files\/StellenboschVineyardsLimitedReleaseGrenache20181080x1080px.png?v=1736333148","url":"https:\/\/vineyardvault.co.za\/products\/stellenbosch-vineyards-limited-release-grenache-2020","provider":"Vineyard Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
