Wolf & Woman Grenache Blanc 2023 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Piekenierskloof
R280
‘A 50:50 blend of Piekenierskloof and Voor-Paardeberg grapes. Matured for eight months in older 500-litre barrels. Expressive aromatics of pear, peach, herbs, a hint of pineapple and a touch of reduction while the palate is robust with dense fruit, bright acidity and savoury wine. Alc: 13.2%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 95/100
'The Wolf and Woman Grenache used to be a Voor Paardeberg wine, but is now blended with an equivalent component from Piekenierskloof. Naturally fermented in older barrels, this is all about texture and fruit purity, with lovely fynbos and lemon verbena aromas and a core of citrus and petrichor. 2024-30' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 94/100
‘Classic Grenache Blanc characters from white stone fruit, to waxy undertones and pithy texture to end. Inviting aromatics of delicate magnolias, dried fynbos and bright peaches lead to a focused palate of river pebbles and vibrant pear. Increasingly layered and utterly delicious.’ – Lauren Segers, May 2024

| Producer information | Jolandie Fouché, winemaker at Kloovenburg in the Swartland, started her own label called Woman & Wolf. The inspiration for the name came from her husband who sent her a quote saying, ‘some days I am more wolf than woman, and I am still learning how to stop apologising for my wild.’ |
