Profile

Description

You heard it here first: Rhone grape varieties (like this Grenache) are The Next Big Thing for South African wines. This example from Illimis is complex, juicy and just plain delicious.

Pairing

Elegant and ethereal, this Grenache calls for lighter fare like a green salad with pomegranate and halloumi or roasted pork tenderloin.

Aromas and Flavours

Strawberry

A sweet, almost caramel-like aroma reminiscent of your favourite juicy, red berry.

Raspberry

Tangy or sweet, juicy or tart: more sophisticated than a strawberry, but just as lush.

Pepper

A whiff of a freshly used pepper grinder - spicy and fresh, without the itchy nose.

Jam

Spreading grandma's homemade jam on your morning toast (yes, the bread was homemade too).

Blackberry

A little sweet, a little tart, this black fruit is rather quiet but persistent.
