Groenland Wyne
Groenland has been in family ownership for four generations. The late owner and winemaker, since 1975, was Kosie Steenkamp. Kosie's son Piet joined the Groenland team in 2001 as assistant winemaker and viticulturist. Piet has since taken over the reins on Groenland after the passing of his father, Kosie Steenkamp, in June 2020. The estate has achieved its status as a producer of distinguished red and white wines thanks to continuous research and development for a period of longer than 85 years. Some of the reasons for Groenlands success is because of the dedication and dynamic co-operation of the family members involved with the estate. The farm consists of 190 hectares, of which 150 hectares are under vine. We produce approximately 80% red and 20% white cultivars. The vineyards deliver more than 1500 tons of grapes every year.
Description
The 4 best barrels in the cellar were selected for this Cabernet Sauvignon (50%) and Merlot (50%) blend. Fullbodied, fruity wine with black pepper, nut and berry aromas on the nose. The tannins are well structured and in perfect harmony. Very good ageing potential. A tribute from son (Piet) to father (Kosie) showing his appreciation for his dad’s dedication to their family farm as well as their good friendship.
Food Pairing
At 16-18˚C, with robust red meat dishes, oxtail and roast beef.
