Despite their ‘most challenging vintage (2022) to date’, these brilliant releases have been achieved by strategically reducing their crop by up to 25%, an increased hands-on focus in the vineyards, multiple pickings, and tiny batch vinification. This has culminated in greater precision and, above all, fruit purity.
David and Nadia’s commitment to Grenache sees a continual planting of younger vineyards. As always, the Grenache 2022 is light-footed, with rose petal spice and ethereal perfume. Since release, it has been a touchstone for refined South African Grenache.
The Elpidios 2021 is 50% Grenache, infused with the electric energy of the great 2021 vintage. This is their take on an authentic Swartland red. Produced from granitic soils, natural fermentation and raised in concrete and old French oak, it shines with vivid fruit and layered detail.
Due to scarcity and demand, the single vineyards are sold on allocation only.
