Grenache Gris
Citrusdal Mountain, Olifants River, Western Cape, South Africa
Interesting skin contact South African Grenache Gris. Beautiful deep copper/amber color with golden highlights. Aromas of citrus and stone fruit, clay, fresh herbs and honey. Flavors of orange, peach, nectarine, raw nuts, grapefruit, savory spices and those fresh herbs. Nice touch of mineral/saline on the long and lingering finish. Wonderful mouth coating “skinsy” texture with a slight touch of tannin. Medium body and acidity. Very complex. Fresh tasting and unique.

Beautiful orange-like wine, two weeks of skin contact, tart, cherry flavors, rich and full-bodied. Delicious enough to drink on its own without pairing, although it goes well with robust cheese.

Drain pour. Terrible. Everything I hate about bad orange wine exemplified here.

May 3rd, 2023Absolutely lovely unexpected orange wine (with the green bottle I thought it was a white). Interesting minerality. Dry on the palate.
