About this wine

The Donkiesbaai Grenache Noir 2020 is a lively combination of red cherries and black currant that jump out of the glass. A floral aroma of lavender overlays notes of flint and iron.  The fruit profile develops into blueberries on the palate with sour red cherry notes adding to the tangy acidity. Cedar spice lends some savoury complexity to this medium bodied wine, with light yet firm tannins. Vibrant and fresh, with a long sour cherry finish.

Far up the west coast, about 3 and a half hours drive north of Cape Town, lies an open bay of white sand strewn with black mussels and kelp, with the icy waters of the Atlantic beating the shore. This is Donkiesbaai, where the Engelbrecht family have holidayed for four generations. This unassuming spot lends its name to our adventurous range
of wines from a further-flung corner of South Africa’s winelands. The wine was made with the cuisine of the west coast in mind. Crayfish, Harders, and a cold glass of wine is part of the history that is Donkiesbaai.

Alcohol: 13.73% ABV

    string(523) "One of the most widely-planted red varieties in the world, Grenache ripens late so needs hot, dry conditions for success. The Rhône Valley, Spain, Barossa and McLaren Vale all utilise Grenache’s raspberry and strawberry characteristics either as stand-alone varietals or part of a blend. Some of the greatest expressions of pure Grenache can be found in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, where wines including Château Rayas and Domaine La Barroche’s Pure cuvée embrace the Pinot Noir-like properties of Grenache to great effect."
