Momento Paardeberg Grenache 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Swartland
R390
‘The original. Grapes from a vineyard planted in the early 2000s. 20 – 30% whole-bunch fermentation for all four examples of the variety. Expressive aromatics of red berries, fynbos, earth and white pepper. Concentrated fruit, fresh acidity and fine tannins. Pure and focused. Alc: 12.52%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 94/100
‘"We can do so much more with Grenache," says Marelise Niemann, and to prove it she now makes four of them. Now relabelled as a wine from the Paardeberg, this was previously sold as a Swartland bottling. Focused, salty and restrained, with lots of granitic intensity, rose petal and fynbos aromas and cranberry and pomegranate fruit. 2025-30’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 93/100

| 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. |
