Piekenierskloof, Grenache Blanc, 2024
"Like clouds of ripe peat - textural, airy and juicy. The white grenache grows high in the Citrusdal mountains, north of Swartland. Gorgeous with porky, hammy or fishy food." Victoria Moore, The Daily Telegraph, 5th December 2025
Piekenierskloof (the name of a ward, the smallest geographical unit in the South African regional classification, as well as the estate owned by two brothers) is fortunate to have a great heritage of old Rhône varieties, red and white. This is...

Piekenierskloof, Grenache Noir, 2023
Piekenierskloof has more Grenache planted than any other estate in the Cape – that’s why so many of the young gun winemakers buy their Grenache here. We reckon going direct to the source delivers better value. From vines averaging over 25 years old, but incorporating parcels going back to 1973; all into old, effectively neutral, oak. Soft red hue. Cherry-scented, dusted with vanilla. Luscious raspberry and red cherry fruit. So expansive – just flowers on the palate. Perfect fresh...

Grenache / Garnacha
Grenache grows well in hot, dry regions, though it can develop very high (15 degrees+) alcohol.
As such it is grown principally in Southern France and Spain (as Garnacha). It is usually blended with other varieties in the Southern Rhône and Languedoc (Syrah, Mourvedre, Carignan, Cinsaut and others).
Its flavour usually encompasses the...
