Just in time for Summer!!!!
Currently the only Grenache Blanc produced in South Africa, this wine is fermented in second and third fill French oak Burgundy barrels where, after 12 months of batonnage on its fermentation lees it is bottled with its natural freshness that is perfectly suited to our beautiful Cape Summer!
The Grenache Blanc has a naturally high acidity which has been balanced by light oaking, enhancing the white peach and apricot aromas typical of this Southern Rhone delicacy.
La Siesta Grenache Blanc is a perfect match with creamy or buttery sauce fishes or lobster when young, and is perfectly complements a veal risotto after a couple of years of bottle maturation.
Jean’s Thoughts
"Unusual for South Africa but very popular in the Mediterranean, this style of wine will handle spicy food very well or simply served it very chilled and enjoy it next to your pool!!!!"
JP’s Thoughts
If you are after an alternative taste to the ubiquitous sauvignon or chardonnay, this is an interesting option. It’s made in an oxidative style, which means it has a slightly sherry-like flavour, and it has great texture in the mouth – making it a great accompaniment to soft cheeses and salads.”
