Description
The Donkiesbaai Grenache Noir 2023 delivers defined red fruit on the nose, showing ripe red cherry, strawberry and cranberry, with spicy notes of cinnamon and Parma ham, and a floral note of violets. Bright and polished on the palate with sour cherry acidity, soft tannin and notes of fynbos and sweet liquorice adding complexity to the red fruits. The fresh acidity balances well with the sweet fruit flavours, with juicy cranberry on the 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.
