AWARDS
Platter 's Guide - 5 stars (96 points)
in the vineyard : The grapes for Project Z Grenache 2022 were sourced from an old bush-vine vineyard in the cool-climate region of Darling on the Cape West Coast. Growing untamed and unbridled in sandy soils and subjected to the maritime airflow off the Atlantic Ocean, the vineyard was selected for its ability to grow grapes offering a superior expression of the site’s unique geography
in the cellar : Fermentation was carried out in stainless-steel tanks where a portion of the fruit was kept whole bunch and added into the bottom of the tank, with whole, destemmed berries on top. After fermentation, the wine spent a further 9 months maturing in an Italian terracotta amphorae. This captures the essence of this unique vineyard in a red wine of singular personality exuding freshness, focus and texture.
