The Grenache Noir 2022 made a subtle debut in our Tasting Room this year. We produce only 500 cases of this wine, making it a limited release available exclusively in the Tasting Room and to our Rondekop Wine Club members. This wine is a firm favourite among many as it appeals to both white and red wine lovers with its lighter, elegant profile, and can even be enjoyed chilled.
This vintage of Grenache shows a firmer structure, with slightly more tannin and a fuller mouthfeel.
It offers a vibrant bouquet featuring notes of rhubarb, blood orange, and watermelon, complemented by hints of cinnamon and star anise. On the palate, the wine presents a savoury sweetness balanced with flavours of beetroot, red peppercorns, and earthy wet soil. Its vibrant acidity adds freshness, while elegant, grainy tannins provide structure.
The wine has excellent aging potential, with its character evolving over time. In its youth, it benefits from increased oxygen contact, so we recommend decanting to fully appreciate its intricate layers.
The Grenache Noir 2022 is only available from The Tasting Room, at R395 per bottle, or contact our Private Client Sommelier – Stefan Reinmuth.
