The Story
This wine is grown from bush vines in decomposed granite soils in a converting organic single-vineyard plot.
The first Grenache Blanc in South Africa was established in the early 1900s on the farm Delheim near Stellenbosch but was only commercially introduced in 1979 when it was regarded as an ‘interesting’ newcomer. Seen to be drought resistant. An upright grower that is wind-resistant, Grenache Blanc does well in dry areas on poor rocky or sandy soils. It can be grown as bush vines or on a smaller trellis system. Grenache Blanc requires a long warm ripening period and is harvested in the middle of the harvest season.
