Niel Joubert – Reserve Grenache Blanc

Deep golden hues, with complex aromas of straw, lemon peel, bruised yellow apple, kumquat, ripe pineapple, apricot, and a hint of spicy oak. The intense opulence on the palate, with its rich oak flavours, is marked by generous flavours of honey, citrus and stone fruits. The trademark acidity of Grenache Blanc provides a perfect balance to the sultry fruit profile. The texture is weighted and waxy, and despite its age, this wine retains plenty of fruit. The finish is lengthy, leaving lingering notes of lemon cream, oak spice and subtle caramel notes.

Serve with grilled fish with a citrus glaze, duck à l’orange, glazed ham with pineapple, grilled vegetables with a citrus vinaigrette, Thai
green curry with chicken or shrimp, or well-matured Brie cheese.
