"Lightly fleshy in texture, with flavors of yellow melon, pear and grilled macadamia nut, plus savory hints of quinine and wild herbs that are kept fresh and focused by a subtle tang of salinity and well-cut, Meyer lemon peel-infused acidity."

"The 2022 Grenache Blanc blends three vineyards (Swartland, Paadeberg and Stellenbosch), barrel-fermented and aged 11 months in 500-liter French oak. It has an enticing oily/resinous bouquet with glimpses of orange rind and jasmine, a faint smokiness in the background. The palate is well-balanced with crisp acidity, lively in the mouth yet tender towards the finish with veins of yellow fruit mixed with stem ginger. What a lovely Grenache Blanc."
