More details
Spice Route Grenache 2023 is crafted from bush vines planted in 2006 in the heart of the Swartland. These unirrigated vines deliver small berries packed with flavour even the antelope roaming the farm can’t resist the low-hanging fruit! The cooler 2023 vintage slowed ripening by two weeks, giving grapes with wonderful purity, freshness, and balance.
Hand-harvested in March, the fruit was fermented in traditional open concrete fermenters, with punch-downs done by hand to gently extract colour and flavour. After pressing, the wine matured for 16 months in old French oak barrels. This careful approach preserved the delicate fruit while adding subtle texture and elegance.
The result is a Grenache that’s both refined and approachable. Juicy red berries meet warm spice and a fine mineral edge, creating a wine that feels effortless at the table. Enjoy it with grilled lamb, Mediterranean-inspired dishes, or simply open a bottle with friends it’s the kind of wine that makes every occasion feel special.
