The 2024 vintage of Scions of Sinai's 'Gramadoelas' Grenache Blanc is a testament to winemaker Bernhard Bredell's dedication to expressing the unique terroir of the Klein Karoo. Sourced from a single vineyard planted in 2009 on decomposed schist and shale clay loams in Welgevonden (Middelplaas/De Rust), this wine reflects the arid, mountainous landscape's influence on the Grenache Blanc varietal.
Tasting Notes:
Appearance: Pale straw with a luminous clarity.
Aroma: Floral perfume interwoven with notes of peach, sweet citrus, and a hint of ginger.
Palate: Light yet intensely flavorful, showcasing zesty acidity balanced by a pithy texture. The wine's elegance is underscored by its saline minerality and refined finish.
Serving Suggestions: This Grenache Blanc pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, such as grilled prawns or seared scallops, and complements creamy cheeses and light poultry dishes. Its vibrant acidity and mineral backbone make it a versatile companion for a variety of cuisines.
Accolades:
93 Points – Winemag (Christian Eedes): "Super-elegant with floral perfume, peach, sweet citrus, and a hint of ginger. The palate is light yet intensely flavorful, zesty acidity playing off against pithy texture."
