2017 Grenache, Momento, Swartland

2017 Grenache, Momento, Swartland

From gnarled old vines, this is one of the best Grenache we’ve come across...from anywhere. Pale in colour, with so much purity and depth of fruit, it’s a simply stunning wine. There’s juicy energy and a saline finish. Love it.

Momento

Marelise Niemann’s Momento is, for us, one of the Cape’s hidden gems: a producer flying under the radar, but making some of the country’s most exciting wines. She fell in love with Grenache while working in Priorat for Eben Sadie, and she’s now something of an expert on the variety, making Grenache Blanc, Gris, and Noir as three separate bottlings, as well as a brilliant Chenin/Verdelho blend, and a stunning Tinta Barocca. These are wines all about texture and refinement, and with a few years in bottle they really start strutting their stuff.
