The Foundry Grenache Noir 2017 has a youthful deep ruby colour with good intensity on account of the low production per vine.
On the nose there is a distinctive floral fleshy fruit quality intensified by black pepper, spice and a sanguine note.
The palate is medium bodied with intense crushed dark fruit, peppery spiciness and an intricate fairy-dust like tannic structure.
Persistant on the finish, this is delicious now and should improve and hold for up to 10 years.
VITICULTURE
Sourced from a 1 hectare vineyard at Fijndraai in Stellenbosch on heavily de-composed granite soils and just 4 km from False Bay. The vineyard is North-West facing and managed by Chris Williams. Planted in 2007, the vineyard is starting to come into its own in terms of quality and site expression. The vines are trellised which allow us to precisely manage the canopy to enhance fruit, complexity and balance. A small crop was ripened under the good perfect conditions of 2017 and harvested at modest sugar levels but at full flavour ripenes to ensure lower alcohol but brighter acidity and freshness and fruit expression
VINIFICATION
