Olifantsberg, Grenache Blanc, Breedekloof, 2017

Winemaker Elizma Visser’s Chenin Blanc and Pinotage are also worth trying, but her Grenache Blancs are standouts. The bush vines were planted less than 10 years ago (increasing the vineyard from 0.1ha to 1ha) but deliver great fruit concentration. Richness and texture from deft oaking and lees stirring join flavours of nectarine, green fig, lemon verbena and sea spray.
