Sleepless Nights Grenache Noir 2024
About this Item
Wine of Origin: Stellenbosch
Winemaker: David Finlayson
Made from a vineyard on one of the neighbouring properties, this site has intrigued me for many years with its cooler southwest aspect and very low-vigour soils. I grabbed the opportunity when it became available to make a special wine from these grapes that could showcase the potential of Grenache in Stellenbosch, where it has not yet made a name for itself.
Tasting Notes: The wine shows an opaque, crimson colour that belies the taut, fine tannin structure. In the glass, it opens to showcase bright red fruit and a crunchy freshness that is so typical of the varietal.
Ready for drinking in 2030.
