Reserve Grenache

A true soulmate to Melanzana Parmigiana.

Moderate summer days with very little rain, resulting in ideal growing conditions for Grapes.

To obtain the correct oak and tannin ratio the free run is taken into older barrels for 17 months.

Large percentage whole berry ferment to get primary fruit. Aerated pump over in the morning and non-aerated pumped over in the afternoon because we want to get dry fine tannin extraction.

Sutherland Vineyards is situated just 9 kms off the Atlantic Ocean with altitudes of 140 to 250 meters above sea level. The cool maritime climate allows for slower ripening than in other Cape Wineland areas producing wines with vibrant concentrated fruit flavours and an elegant minerality. All Sutherland wines are bottled and produced at the estate in Stellenbosch.
