Crafted by winemaker Janno Briers-Louw in the Agter-Paarl region, grapes for the Eenzaamheid Grenache Noir 2023 were sourced from old bush vines planted in 2012. Grapes were hand-picked from a parcel of low-yielding dryland bush vines and chilled before being sorted and destemmed. The grape juice and skins were cold macerated at temperatures between 5-8°C for up to 4 days. Fermentation took place in open top fermentation vessels and the rising cap was punched down every 4-6 hours. Malolactic fermentation occurred in barrel. Matured in older 300-litre and 400-litre French oak barrels (average age of 5 years) for a total period of 11 months. Residual sugar: 1.2g/l. Bottled at 13%. (Bottle size 750ml)

Nose: Aromas of red fruits, including fresh raspberry, strawberry, and cherry.

Palate: The palate is vibrant and expressive, with the red fruit profile continuing to shine through. The wine's texture is silky, with fine, well-integrated tannins that add structure without overwhelming the palate. Its refreshing acidity enhances the bright fruit flavours, making for a balanced and elegant wine.

Finish: The finish is clean and crisp, leaving a lingering impression of red berries and a touch of spice.
