2019 Grenache Noir, Illimis, 750ml, 14% ABV

Lucinda Heyns has crafted an exceptional example of Grenache from a bush vine vineyard located in Wellington which is just north of Paarl in the Western Cape.   
The vineyard has shale soil with pockets of schist that Grenache loves and it delivers a wine with fine, chalky tannins, beautiful aromas of wild strawberries, lavender and rose petals.  The palate is silky and supple with flavours of cherry, minerals, dried berries and wild herbs that lead into a long finish.
