Award-Winning 2021 David & Nadia Grenache Wine V92 Rated

Discover the essence of South African terroir with David & Nadia’s 2021 Swartland Grenache—a vibrant celebration of sustainable winemaking and bold regional character. Crafted from organically certified vineyards in Paardeberg and Malmesbury’s clay-rich soils, this wine embodies the resilience of Swartland’s landscape while offering a refined drinking experience.

With 60% whole bunch fermentation and gentle four-week skin contact, this Grenache unveils a harmonious blend of fresh red berry flavors—think ripe cherries and crushed strawberries—infused with floral notes of wild hedgerow and pressed violet. Its crisp acidity and light-bodied texture evoke artisanal Beaujolais charm, while a tensile finish hints at subtle tannins that invite endless sips. Perfect for pairing with charcuterie or herbaceous dishes, this wine strikes a balance between approachability and complexity.

Committed to minimal intervention, David & Nadia’s meticulous winemaking process emphasizes sustainability: hand-harvested grapes undergo natural fermentation in open-top tanks with daily punchdowns before aging in neutral French oak barrels for a year. At 13% alcohol, this Grenache offers elegance without heaviness—ideal for wine enthusiasts seeking a sophisticated yet unpretentious red.

Savor the story of Swartland’s terroir in every sip—where drought-resistant vines meet organic practices to create a wine that’s as thoughtfully crafted as it is deliciously drinkable. (Price and availability subject to change; vintage may vary from image.)
