Black Elephant Vintners, The Back Roads Bakenshoek, Grenache, Franschhoek, South Africa, 2015

The fruit for the The Back Roads Grenache Noir 2015 was selected from a single vineyard growing on Bakenshoek Farm in the Franschhoek Valley. The vineyard grows in beautiful decomposed Table Mountain sandstone which results in smaller, more concentrated berries.

This is the second release of the Bakenshoek Grenache Noir. This wine has a vibrant crimson colour, with aromas of red cherry, strawberry and cracked pepper. The wine is medium bodied with soft tannins and shows flavours of raspberry, red plum and dried herbs. Despite its delicate nature decanting recommended.
