Description
It is a collaborated initiative from owner Charles Back, cellarmaster Anthony de Jager and sommelier Higgo Jacobs. The Grenache Noir was picked and vinified with delicious drink-ability front of mind, with low alcohol levels, and spending time in older 300l oak barrels.

Wow! What a delightful surprise. I have always been weary of Grenache, thinking it was too light a red wine, since we lean towards heavier wine. But what a delight this wine is. I gave in to temptation after yet another Charles Back blog waxing lyrical and discovered a wine that is full of flavour, juicy, smooth, well-rounded and holds its own even with heavy foods. Enjoyed room temperature or slightly chilled, I could drink this wine in the summer and winter. Thanks for adding another gem to my wine drinking pleasure!
