Winner – Grenache Blanc of the Year 2026. Truly remarkable, wildflower-scented grenache blanc on Klein Karoo schist & slate. Thrilling steeliness the hallmark of 2024, intensified by chalky bone-dryness. Majority wholebunch, plus 9 months large oak deliver an intensity that realises the promise of 2023.

"Very dry - like Priorat" is how Bernhard Bredell describes the terroir of the Klein Karoo, where this Grenache Blanc is planted at 460 metres on shale and schist soils. Stony, tangy and intense, it has scalpel-like acidity, layers of lime, petrichor and white flowers and a bone-dry, palate-cleansing finish. 2027-31

From the Klein Karoo, the 2024 Gramadoelas, pure Grenache Blanc is partially whole cluster pressed and aged for nine months in 400-litre barrels. This has a finely-tuned yet understated bouquet with hints of fennel, chai and yellow plum, so discreet but it unfolds in the glass. The palate is very well balanced with a keen line of acidity, fresh and quite saline, with a very slight flor-like nuttiness that lends complexity on the finish. Superb.
