About this Item
2 x 1.5 litre bottles comprising David & Nadia Grenache noir 2021 and Chenin blanc 2021
This exclusive lot features two 1.5L magnums from David & Nadia—one each of their highly regarded Grenache noir 2021 and Chenin blanc 2021—showcasing the precision, purity, and site expression that define this celebrated Swartland duo.
Grenache noir 2021 (1.5L)
A benchmark for Cape Grenache, this wine is sourced from dryland bush vines rooted in mainly granitic soils. The 2021 vintage is bright and perfumed, offering red cherry, wild herbs, and crushed spice. Whole-bunch fermentation and gentle extraction yield a textured, elegant wine with fine tannins and a long, savoury finish.
Chenin blanc 2021 (1.5L)
Crafted from old, low-yielding bush vines across multiple Swartland parcels, this Chenin blanc is a layered, mineral-driven expression of place. The 2021 vintage is taut and focused, showing green apple, stone fruit, citrus peel, and a saline edge, balanced by vibrant acidity and subtle oak integration.
These magnums are not only rare in format but represent the essence of David & Nadia’s approach: wines of restraint, detail, and longevity, made with minimal intervention and maximum respect for terroir.
Ideal for cellaring or sharing at the table, this magnum duo is a collector’s gem from one of South Africa’s most thoughtful and terroir-focused producers.
Each bottle is packed in a wooden box.
