Momento Tinta Barocca 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Western Cape
R390
‘Grapes from the Helderberg plus two sites on the Paardeberg, all over 40 years old. The aromatics are unrestrained as so often is the case with Port varieties – red and black berries, flowers, fynbos, a hint of mint, earth and spice. The palate, meanwhile, shows good depth of fruit, bright acidity and firm tannins. Layers of flavour. Alc: 13.18%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 93/100
‘If anyone can make a comparatively approachable wine out of Tinta Barocca, it's Marelise Niemann. This comes from three old-vine parcels in Stellenbosch and the Swartland, and has the variety's characteristic grip and intensity, with damson and blackberry fruit, some dried herbs and firm but well-integrated tannins. 2025-32’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 92/100

| 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. |
