2022 Thief In The Night, Savage Wines

2022 Thief In The Night, Savage Wines

From Piekenierskloof, from the same Grenache vineyard as Eben Sadie's Soldaat. This is intense and perfumed with wonderful delicacy and lots of fynbos character. Light in colour, the palate has impressive density, and the finish lasts an age.

Tasting notes

Billie and Erasmus van Zyl's plantings at 642 metres in painterly Piekenierskloof supplies the raw material for this enticing, high-altitude Grenache from sandstone soils. Intensely fresh, mineral and chiselled, it combines raspberry and redcurrant flavours with sinewy tannins and a long, satisfying finish. 2024-30
