'One-Liner'
Autumnal-bright Grenache with Stellenbosch soul silky, spicy, seriously drinkable.

Tasting Note
Light ruby in the glass and immediately aromatic spiced cinnamon, savoury red cherry and a trace of leather over a core of bright red fruit. The palate follows through with concentrated cherry and raspberry, a gently earthy undertow and silken, fine-grained tannins. Integrated acidity keeps it nimble, and a long, mineral streak tidies the finish elegant, sun-kissed Grenache with real poise.

The Story
Waterford’s single Grenache parcel sits on the rockiest sandstone slopes of the estate the warmest, most arid spot on the farm, ideal for this heat-loving variety. The team ages the wine in a porcelain–foudre–old oak mix to protect fruit purity and texture, delivering a Stellenbosch expression that’s lithe, spicy and refreshingly modern.
