Critics Ratings

'For my money, this is the best Grenache in South Africa. Made with 85% whole bunches, it's a fine, elegant, floral red showing flavours of plum, bramble and liquorice, sweet Asian spices, fine tannins and remarkable freshness from its altitude of 708 metres. 2019-28.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2017, 96/100

'Grenache from Piekenierskloof, 2016 treads lightly despite ripeness relative to other reds in line-up. Fragrant, with attractive sanguine tones, spicy characters; refreshing grape tannin grip & endless densely packed fruit finish. Year in concrete 'eggs'.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2018, 4.5* (94 pts)

'Grenache. Light nose. Rather mild and well behaved with some light saltiness. Fresh and floral. Far from Châteauneuf-du-Pape intensity! Long. It builds on the end.' - Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5+/20 (Oct 2017)
