Strange Kompanije 'The Underworld'Grenache Blanc, 2020South Africa White Western Cape 75cl The wine is a blend of Grenache Blanc from two locations - 60% from 40 year old bush vines located in Piekernierskloof along with 40% from bush vine Paarl fruit (hence why it is classified as 'Western Cape'). The Paarl component has been barrel fermented in 4-6 year old 500lt French oak. The remainder has been wild fermented in stainless steel with 5g/l residual sugar to round off the spice a little. It's the best one yet. Lovely and spicy with pineapple fruit, good acidity too, quite textural and long. Lovely, a complex wine that grows in the glass. Great value too.
