{"product_id":"2021-olifantsberg-grenache-blanc","title":"2021 Olifantsberg Grenache Blanc","description":"\u003cp\u003eElizma Visser is doing cracking work at Olifantsberg, especially with this Grenache Blanc. She is obsessed with bottling the shale soils and the constant wind of the Breedekloof, and you can really feel that energy here. These vines are tucked away 450 metres up the mountain and literally tied to posts so they do not blow away. It results in a wine with heaps of grit and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe secret here is that Elizma does not pick the whole block at once. She does a few different passes through the vineyard at different ripeness levels to build layers of natural acidity and complex fruit. It is a thoughtful, hands-on approach that keeps the wine feeling incredibly pure without needing any cellar magic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the winery, they use whole-bunch pressing and natural fermentation to let the site do the talking. You get a wine with a serious, savory weight that never feels heavy or clunky. It is all about that tactile, waxy texture that makes Grenache Blanc such a winner with food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, it is all lime blossom, herbs, and white peach. The palate is the real hero though, showing a fantastic mineral edge and a clean, zippy finish. If you like Chenin or a weightier Chardonnay, this is a brilliant alternative that works wonders with grilled prawns or roast chicken.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Olifantsberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43055410577451,"sku":"2021 Olifantsberg Grenache Blanc","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2021OlifantsbergGrenacheBlanc.png?v=1772161773","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2021-olifantsberg-grenache-blanc","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
