2021 Grenache Blanc The Foundry Stellenbosch
£17.50
“The 2021 Grenache Blanc has an engaging bouquet with yellow plum, lanolin, grilled almonds, and a pinch of walnut, later, more petrolly scents entering left stage. The palate is well balanced with an appealing waxy texture, taut and fresh thanks to that spine of acidity and with hints of fennel and basil towards the finish. This really articulates the variety with some panache, and it should age with style”

Product Description
Founded in 2001 by Chris Williams and James Reid, their first vintage had to be made in an old blacksmith’s forge when there wasn’t enough space in the cellar they were borrowing. And so the name was born.
Winemaker Chris Williams is an award-winning winemaker from South Africa. For 16 vintages he was cellarmaster at the heritage Stellenbosch wine estate, Meerlust. Today, Chris creates exceptional wines of the highest quality under The Foundry label. These wines are crafted using the best quality fruit sourced from the finest sites across the Cape region.
Chris’ winemaking style combines both traditional and modern techniques, to extract the finest expression of fruit and terroir. In the cellar, the goal is minimal intervention, allowing the grapes and the vintage to present their own unique character under the perfect conditions. This wine has lifted floral aromas with hints of lemon cream and white stone fruit and an ethereal crushed rock minerality.
