De Grendel Winifred 2015

To the manor born.

Durbanville winery De Grendel has re-introduced its unconventional  white blend called Winifred after it was briefly discontinued. Named after Winifred Sally, wife of the late Sir David Graaff, 3^rd Baronet of Cape Town and founder of De Grendel, the newly released 2015 is a blend of 52% Semillon, 29% Viognier and 14% Chardonnay.

Aromatically, there are notes of lime and lemon, white peach and a little thatch. The palate, meanwhile, shows good fruit concentration and fresh acidity before a gently savoury finish. All components are wooded but there’s very little evidence of this other that some extra weight and texture. A curious but delicious wine. Available from the cellar door or online to wine club members at R125 a bottle.
