NEW Momento whites – the best yet?

NEW Momento whites

The best yet?

Marelise Niemann has just released three of the best wines she has ever made. And she has made great wine! Her trio of whites are exquisite, visceral expressions of the vintage – brilliantly captured by a winemaker at the top of her game. Known as THE Grenache queen in SA, Marelise is a quiet powerhouse when it comes to making smart wines that will last. If you love pure, energetic whites, these are for you.

To our minds, this is the finest Grenache Blanc in the country! The 96-point 2023 Grenache Blanc is filled with energy and focus. Notes of soft citrus and white florals follow through to a ‘finely delineated palate with a thrilling tension about it’, writes Christian Eedes.

NEW Momento whites – the best yet?

he 95-point 2023 Grenache Gris is ‘full of flavour and entirely seductive’, says Christian. This characterful wine offers great drinking pleasure, yet haunting complexity.

Powerful and poised with crystalline fruit, the 96-point Chenin Verdelho 2023 is a masterful release that, like the duo above, should age for a decade and more.

Be sure to seek out her limited-release, terroir-based Grenache Noirs – the Botrivier Grenache, Piekenierskloof Grenache, and Riebeekberg Grenache – as well as her original Paardeberg Grenache and stellar Tinta Barocca. View the reds here.
