Momento Grenache Blanc 2021 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Voor Paardeberg
R310
'Includes 7% Verdelho. Grenache Blanc from the Voor-Paardeberg. Left on the skins for three days. Aromatics are difficult to describe but there are suggestions of citrus, peach, dried herbs and a hint of waxy character. The palate is dense and textured with snappy acidity with a pleasantly bitter bite to the finish. Has an exciting tension about it.' – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 96/100
'Young Grannysmith apple and quince combine with fuller yellow fruits alongside subtle floral notes and oatcakes on the nose. The palate is racy and fresh with an apple core texture adding chew and length while a wet stoniness brings focus and linearity. Taut and angular, this wine unwinds beautifully in the glass.' – Winemaker

Producer information | Marelise Niemann began her Momento brand in 2013. Marelise has a passion for Grenache, which she realised after working with Eben Sadie in Priorat in 2010. Grenache is not a widely planted grape in South Africa, but her passion has led her to find the only Grenache Gris vineyard which is located in Voor-Paardeberg. She is lucky enough to work with vines all over the Western Cape which are unique expressions of their regions and terroir. |
