The Capeography Co. Landscape Grenache Blanc, 2019

A contemporary cultivar to South Africa which enjoys the region's Atlantic breezes and drought. Known for it's influence in the Languedoc region of the southern Rhône, it's impact in South Africa will be felt as a sustainable grape variety and also for it's unique and exciting botanical appeal. Landscape Grenache Blanc comes from young drought resistant vines in Swartland where the hot, dry shale soils give the wine a pithy texture. This cultivar thrives in a drought climate so it's a sustainable source as well as a marvelous mouthful. The grapes are harvested in the cooler, early hours of the morning and packed into a chiller prior to pressing into steel fermenters, the preferred method used to maintain purity of the fruit. The fermented juice is racked prior to a gentle filtration to capture the full flavor in the bottle.
