    2022 Sadie Family Wines "Soldaat" Grenache (Swartland, SA)

    5R

    Medium-bodied wines with more structure and a mouth-feel similar to whole milk

    2022 Sadie Family Wines "Soldaat" Grenache (Swartland, SA)

    This 2022 Soldaat has the characteristic red cherry and bright pomegranate fruit aromas that carry through into deeper earthy flavors. This year, the color is slightly darker but still bright red, and the tannins are softer than usual. The fruit is overall quite expressive, and the softer mouthfeel of the tannins suggests that this vintage was quite fully ripe at 13% alcohol. It will be hard not to drink it, but the wine gains massive complexity with time in the bottle. This is an absolutely remarkable Grenache-- elegant but arresting.

    About The Varietal

    Grenache

    Grenache, also known as Garnacha, is a red wine grape variety extensively cultivated in France, Spain, Australia, and the United States. Its remarkable versatility, both in the vineyard and during the winemaking process, might be the reason for its widespread presence as one of the most widely planted grape varieties across the globe.
