Here & There Grenache Blanc

Here & There Grenache Blanc

These drought resistant Grenache Blanc vines thrive in Swartland’s granite-rich, sandy soils resulting in this fresh and expressive style.

Production

Made with 100% Grenache Blanc grapes from Swartland. Grenache Blanc thrives here, on deep “koffieklip” soils where production is low due to dryland growing conditions. The combination of clay mixed with small stones gives good water retention while allowing the roots to penetrate deep into the soil. Cool Atlantic breezes shape the grapes’ expressive freshness.

Tasting notes

Ripe, spicy aromas, gently floral with notes of apricot and peach. A pithily generous palate, full flavoured and textural with a crisp salinity on the finish.

Boutinot South Africa is driven by our passion for discovery and desire to capture the real essence of South Africa in every bottle. It was the simple love of Loire Chenin Blanc that first led us to South Africa in 1994, where we pioneered the wild ferment style that has now been adopted by many producers in this region.

Since then we have been exploring the country’s amazing vineyards to make fabulous wines from specific sites and plots that scream location, location, terroir.. Our home-grown South African winemaking team of JD Rossouw, Ryno Booysen and Pierre Louw drive the energy and enthuasiam for expressing the loveliest wines from their country, along with Samantha Bailey’s expertise in finesse. The key is knowing the characteristics of each plot, understanding the benefits each cultivar can bring, breaking rules and pushing boundaries. We use a combination of knowledge, a love of nature and science to create versatile, expressive and food-friendly wines from a country that has been making wine for 360 years.
