Stellenbosch Vineyards L.R Grenache 2023 (Diners)
Grenache
Description
Stellenbosch Vineyards operates from Welmoed Farm on the R310 between Stellenbosch and False Bay, drawing fruit from a broad network of carefully selected vineyards across the region. The estate’s philosophy combines the heritage of Stellenbosch - South Africa’s most historically significant wine region - with a contemporary winemaking approach that focuses on clarity of fruit and varietal expression.
The Limited Release (L.R) range highlights grape varieties that are less commonly seen in South Africa but well suited to the Cape’s Mediterranean climate. Grenache thrives in warm, dry conditions and produces expressive wines with lifted aromatics and gentle tannin structure.
For the Stellenbosch Vineyards L.R Grenache 2023, grapes are hand-harvested and fermented on the skins before maturation in older oak barrels. This restrained oak influence allows the natural red-fruit character of Grenache to remain the focus while adding subtle texture and complexity.
Colour:
Clear ruby red with a bright, youthful appearance.
Nose:
Aromatic notes of raspberry, red cherry and strawberry lead the bouquet, followed by subtle hints of cocoa, dried herbs and gentle baking spice.
Palate:
Medium-bodied and supple, with juicy red berry fruit supported by fresh acidity. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, giving the wine an approachable structure while allowing the fruit to remain vibrant and lifted.
Finish:
Clean and moderately long, with lingering red fruit and a touch of spice.
