ready-improve2021 The Sadie Family Wines, Soldaat, Ouwingerdreeks, Swartland

Now established as the preeminent Grenache in South Africa, Soldaat comes from just eight rows of 48-year-old vines belonging to Bielie and Erasmus van Zyl in Piekenierskloof. Graceful, silky and scented, with subtle 60% whole bunch spices, lots of energy and tension, pomegranate and redcurrant fruit and no wood at all. 2023-30
