Momento Grenache Noir 2019 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Swartland
R320
'Feisty yet focused, trademark Niemann power without force. Rose, white pepper & buchu perfumes kept in line by lively acidity & tannic grip from extended skin contact in elegant 2019. All Swartland fruit since 2018 (4.5 stars, 93 pts). 30% wholebunch, cold soak, natural ferment, no additives, old oak, no filters or fining, as all these.' – Platter's Guide, 5* (95/100)
'Subtle aromatics of red berries, floral perfume, dried herbs, and spice precede a palate that is delicate and poised – pure fruit, bright acidity, and powdery tannins. Immensely pleasurable to drink.' – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 92/100
'Rose and cherry with raspberry boiled sweets alongside savoury fynbos, dark chocolate and violets. Light bodied, crunchy and fresh with more bright red fruit on the palate. This primary vibrancy makes the wine accessible early but bracing acidity and a pleasantly pine-green phenolic grip adds complexity and promises ageing potential. A saline and moreish finish.' – Marelise Niemann, 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. |
