David & Nadia Elpidios 2022

David & Nadia is a first generation family owned Swartland project and they are members of the Swartland Independent Producers. With family roots in the Swartland dating back to 1757, they focus on dry land farmed bush vines, soil diversity, climate and people of one region only.

Blend: Grenache noir (61%), Syrah (34%), Carignan (3%), Cinsaut (1%) and Pinotage (1%).

For this Grenache noir-based blend David & Nadia used the grapes from 12 different vineyards, picked on 15 days during the vintage.

The 2022 Elpidios includes four components that were fermented and matured in concrete vessels – 2 lots of Grenache noir, Cinsaut as well as Syrah. As in previous years, the balance of wine making up this blend was matured in old 500L neutral French oak barrels as well as a single 4100L foudré (Pinotage), also an old, neutral oak component.

 The winemaking regime here is mostly the same as for the main Grenache noir in terms of long, gentle extraction, the use of 40% on average whole bunches and then pressing off. After bottling, the wine was aged in bottle for 18 months before release. This vintage is again based on grapes grown in granite soils from the Paardeberg, blended with structured shale/schists from the east, clay rich soils from the north and iron rich soils from the west.

The Swartland is known for extremely warm summers with a low average winter rainfall. On the west, the Swartland borders on the Atlantic ocean and on the east inland by mountain ranges. Due to this location, a large diurnal shift is observed where the average daytime temperatures are much higher than the average night time temperatures. All of the vineyards are however inland and our climate is considered to be Mediterranean.
