Momento Tinta Barocca 2021 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Western Cape
R360
‘Grapes from Darling, Paardeberg and Stellenbosch all over 40 years old. 15% whole-bunch fermentation before maturation lasting 16 months in older oak. Red and black berries, flowers, herbs and earth on the nose while the palate has dense fruit, bright acidity ang grippy tannins – has a certain wildness about it. Alc: 12.95%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 92/100
‘Sour cherry and liquorice, black forest cake and dark cherries; this wine is a deftly restrained expression of the variety, with the forest floor savouriness and umami in perfect counterpoint to the wild red fruits up front. Tannins are chalky and lightly herbal, mint and sage standing out among other dried herbs.’ – 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. |
