long finale

"Lighter in color this year, the 2021 Soldaat Old Vine Series is bright with aromas of ripe, crisp red fruits balanced with a bouquet of powdery cherry blossoms. Medium-bodied and clocking in at 13% alcohol, the palate is fresh yet possesses a nervous energy that unfolds as the wine settles on the palate before revealing a delicious tannic grip. The Grenache finishes with a fine, floral finish and will need a little more time in the bottle to blossom, but it will drink beautifully over the next 12 to 14 years. Give it time, and your patience will be rewarded. (Wine Advocate 2022) • Very limited quantities!
