Grenache Gris 2023

9.0

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. — 5 days ago

WOW. Loved. And the people I was serving at a South African event loved. It is sturdy. This wine will support you. And not go away. It will feed you all the fresh red plums and raisins you need to stay healthy. Then such juiciness at large and then it will wave air on you ( in the name of medium acid and 14% abv alcohol) to keep you chill. Essentially this wine is a side piece. Keep it in your life boo, — 8 years ago

The combination of Cinsaut and Pinot noir has been severely underrated. There are amazing examples of this hybrid, bred, forgot, then rediscovered as a tribute to the SA wine scene. This grape is pure punk.

World-class Pinotage. Seriously...if you have given up on this much maligned varietal, check this wine out. Old vines on Citrusdal Mountain...nice work Thinus! Cheers. — 11 years ago

The 2019 Snakes & Ladders consists of Sauvignon Blanc from the Citrusdal Mountains. It has a potent bell pepper and gooseberry nose that maybe lacks the complexity of John Seccombe’s Chenins. The palate is well balanced with good weight. Bitter lemon, orange peel and light saline notes define the finish. This is a fine Sauvignon Blanc that should drink well for 3–6 years.
