The Foundry
The Foundry Wine Collection was established on a shoestring budget in 2001 by Chris Williams and his great friend James Reid. With plenty of blood, sweat and tears, developing The Foundry into a leading exponent of the New South Africa wine revolution, gaining numerous accolades and awards for their site specific, terroir defined wines. The first vintage of The Foundry was vinified at the Myburghs of Joostenburg winery in Paarl. There was no room for our barrels in their barrel room, and so we were accommodated in the old blacksmiths’ workshop – and ‘The Foundry’ was born.
Description
The 2021 vintage of The Foundry Grenache Blanc offers lifted floral aromas with hints of lemon cream and white stone fruit, complemented by an ethereal crushed rock minerality. The palate is linear and focused, showcasing clean grapefruit and quince fruit flavors. A minerally mid-palate with a rich, fleshy mouthfeel leads to a long finish with a pleasant lingering pithiness.
Food Pairing
This Grenache Blanc pairs excellently with a variety of dishes, including rich seafood, creamy pasta, roasted poultry, and flavorful vegetarian options. Its rich texture and vibrant acidity also complement spiced lamb and Moroccan tagines, where preserved lemons and ginger enhance the wine's citrus notes.
