Description
The Donkiesbaai Grenache Noir 2024 delivers bright and vibrant in the glass with perfumed aromas of hibiscus, strawberries, and red cherry, complimented by a savoury note of forest floor. Light bodied and lively on the palate where zesty cranberry combines with raspberry compote and spicy notes of cinnamon and clove. A sour cherry acidity balances the spicy tannins and bright fruit. Strawberry and spice 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.
