Bok Amok Organic Bush Vine Grenache 2023 takes its name from the Duiker antelope that race through the Swartland vineyards. From a dryland block planted in 2006, this Grenache delivers raw energy, vibrant fruit and unmistakable Swartland character.
ACCOLADES:
Pair with fire-grilled meats, charred vegetables, spiced lamb dishes, tapas-style plates or firm cheeses that match its wild, energetic personality.
The wine shows translucent dark cherry red colour, glowing like the last light of day. The nose bursts with wild red berries, candied raspberry, iron, floral fynbos and cracked black pepper. The palate focuses on fresh red fruit with gritty tannins that grip and hold. Raw, vibrant and undeniably alive.
Bok Amok Organic Bush Vine Grenache 2023 draws inspiration from the Duiker antelope that rush through the vineyards and chew the Grenache vines down to nubs. Their chaotic presence is a familiar sight in the Swartland and gives the wine its playful name.
Block 1, planted in 2006 on weathered granite soils, suits Grenache Noir perfectly. This dryland bush vine block produced 3.8 tons per hectare in 2023, with every grape hand-harvested. Old soils and hardy vines combine to give the wine its distinct Swartland personality.
The team harvested the grapes in March 2023. They picked early in the morning, then destemmed, crushed and cooled the fruit for an extended soak. Wild fermentation followed, with punch-downs two or three times a day to pull out every ounce of flavour. Once fermentation ended, the wine moved into old French oak for a 10-month rest. They bottled it with barely a filter, keeping the wine raw, real and full of life.
