Dry and full-bodied, textured from barrel and lees but held taut, and finishing on a mouthwatering salinity. Grenache Blanc 100%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOlifantsberg works the slopes of the Olifantsberg range in Breedekloof, between 250 and 450 metres on shale and slate soils, with sustainable farming and limited intervention in vineyard and cellar under Integrated Production of Wine certification. Large day-to-night temperature swings, snow on the peaks through winter and constant summer winds slow the ripening and keep the fruit fresh; the vines are trained sur echalas, as bush vines on a single wooden stake, to concentrate fruit on these low-potential mountain soils. Winemaker Elizma Visser, named Young Winemaker of the Year in Tim Atkin's 2021 South Africa Report, pressed the bunches whole for a gentle extraction, fermented the juice naturally in seasoned French oak barrels and large foudres, and aged it for ten months on its fine lees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 10-12°C, not fridge-cold, or the texture is lost. It suits roast chicken, grilled langoustines, slow-roast pork belly, or a hard nutty cheese such as Comté. Drinking well now and over five to ten years. Sealed with a technical cork.
