"Experience South Africa in your glass with this harmonious, fruity wine—typical of Grenache!"

“The 2022 Lula Ilse Single Vineyard Grenache Noir is aged in 300-liter French oak barrels. The pure bouquet features 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)

Wine rated (2024 guide) 95/100

About the wine:

An enticing nose of wild strawberries, tart cherries, dried herbs, and white pepper. It is medium-bodied, with finely grained tannins and lively acidity. It offers succulent, crisp fruit aromas. Ethereal and harmonious. The white pepper blends into the overall profile and enhances the mid-palate through to the precise, long finish. Ready to drink or worth cellaring.
