WINERY OF GOOD HOPE RD VINUM GRENACHE

IN THE CELLAR
The grapes were all hand-picked at dawn to capture freshness and
acidity while retaining elegance in the flavour expression. The
bunches were hand-sorted and a combination of whole berry
carbonic maceration and partial crushing took place in a 7000L
oak fermenter, on the skins, using wild yeast only. This technique
lifts the fruit and creates intensity, as well as freshness and
liveliness. We employed very light extraction, with the focus on
promoting a lithe, supple texture. This complements the expressive
fruit profile, and in doing so retains depth and persistence. The
berries were basket-pressed to ensure only the purest liquid was
extracted. The wine was then matured for 11 months in older (3 to
4-year-old) French oak barrels.
A NOTE FROM THE WINEMAKER
Deep crimson in colour with a ruby rim. Pronounced red current
and perfumed strawberry notes on the nose. The heartily fruited
palate is reined in by firm, but polished tannins before a lingering
pomegranate finish.
Variety: Grenache
Appellation: Stellenbosch
