"Experience South Africa in your glass with this harmonious and fruity wine, typical of Grenache!"
The 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 subtle hints of clove and black olive. The medium-bodied palate with supple tannins is very harmonious and precise, with a lingering, sophisticated finish that reflects meticulous winemaking. Superb. 2025-2040" (Vinous 2023)

About wine:
Seductive nose of wild strawberries, tart cherries, dried herbs, and white pepper. Medium-bodied, with finely grained tannins and lively acidity. It offers succulent, crisp fruit flavors. Ethereal and harmonious. White pepper blends into the whole and lifts the mid-palate to a precise, long finish. Drink now or cellar.
