    This wine comes from a single barrel of Grenache Noir grapes grown in the highly regarded Piekenierskloof appellation of South Africa, where the grapes were planted in the early 2000s and harvested by a tractor driver nicknamed "Panda". The grapes underwent whole-bunch fermentation and barrel aging for 12 months, resulting in a light-bodied wine with red fruit aromas, fresh acidity, fine tannins, and a subtle spicy note from the whole-bunch fermentation.

    HOENDERTANDE GRENACHE NOIR 2018

    Hoendertande Grenache comes from the extremely sought-


    after Piekenierskloof appellation and like the “Ou Treffer
    Cinsault”, only 1 barrel was produced. Also referred to as
    the “abalone” of the valley, sought-after, treasured… as
    scarce as hens’ teeth.

    VINTAGE NOTES

    These Piekenierskloof grapes were planted in the early


    2000’s. The famous tractor driver, also known as “Panda”
    (you’ll find him featuring on the wrapping paper) collected
    these grapes and transported them to the cellar.

    WINEMAKING

    Whole-bunch fermentation in open-top fermenters with 2


    punch downs daily for 10 days. After being basket
    pressed, the wine was barrel aged in an older 500l French
    Oak barrel for 12 months.

    TASTING NOTE

    Red cherry and strawberry notes plus a subtle earthy note


    on the nose. Light-bodied with lovely pure fruit, fresh
    acidity and very fine tannins. A slightly spicy quality to
    the finish thanks to whole-bunch fermentation.
