"Find South Africa in your glass with this harmonious, fruity wine, typical of Grenache!"
"Grenache Noir Lula Ilse Single Vineyard 2022 is aged in 300-liter French oak barrels. The pure bouquet presents aromas of raspberry coulis, white pepper and light touches of clove and black olive. The medium-bodied palate with supple tannins is very harmonious and precise, with a persistent, sophisticated finish that testifies to very assiduous winemaking. Superb. 2025-2040" (Vinous 2023)

About the wine:
Seductive nose of wild strawberries, sour cherries, dried herbs and white pepper. Medium-bodied, with finely grained tannins and lively acidity. Luscious, crisp fruit aromas. Ethereal and harmonious. White pepper mingles and lifts the mid-palate through to the precise, long finish. For drinking or cellaring.
