Chasing Rabbits Grenache Noir
Crunchy, juicy, fresh, fragrant Grenache Noir from the Western Cape of South Africa. Grown on land that was previously a communal grazing site for nomadic trek farmers, this red is light, refreshing, and loaded with red fruit. The slightly floral notes add depth, but all fermentation and ageing are done in steel, so no oak here.

What is Grenache noir?
Grenache noir is a red grape variety originating from Spain (known there as Garnacha) that thrives in hot, dry climates worldwide, making it a perfect grape to grow in South Africa. It produces medium-ruby coloured wines with moderate tannins and higher alcohol content.
