Description
The Donkiesbaai Grenache Noir 2021 delivers upfront perfume of lavender oil is matched by cranberries, pomegranate and watermelon, revealing prominent savoury spice black and pink peppercorns. Fresh sour-cherry acidity on the palate is backed by spicy tannins which add structure to this otherwise light-bodied wine. Clean, dry finish with a touch of red fruit and spice.
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.
