Jolandie is drawn to Grenache Blanc because of the way it not only holds its acidity while achieving ripeness, but also because it really showcases site well.  Jolandie calls the 2024 vintage “a light crop with a loud voice.” Despite an above-average rainfall in winter 2023, the dry-farmed vineyards had to dig deep once summer arrived. From November on, warm and dry conditions took center stage, leaving a lighter crop, but one that was beautifully healthy.

Grenache Blanc is a blend of grapes from two different vineyards and regions. 50% Voor Paardeberg (Bergendal) - 50% Piekenierskloof (Weltevrede)

Tasting Notes: Light straw in color with aromas of pear, citrus, thyme, and clove. The whole thing is really vibrant, with bright, lively acidity dancing on the palate. This is a unique, characterful wine.
